Hello, .................................................................................….I'm Fizzy
and I have three purposes in life
1) ride on Sherri's bike
2) scare away Cougars
3) make Sherri smile
and I'm ……………………………………………………………….Four Eyes
I keep Trailhead...…………………….on the right trail...…................................and make Sherri laugh...………….....at Trailhead.
We traveled the IHSMBR which is an off road bicycle touring route advertised and supported by the Adventure Cycling Association, who maintains the maps and provides updates. https://www.adventurecycling.org/cyclosource-store/route-maps/idaho-hot-springs-mountain-bike-route/
One of the nice things about the IHSMBR, as opposed to the GDMBR is that you can start and finish at the same location, in this case Boise Idaho.
There are options for several loop distances, we ended up doing the shorter one using the Lowman Cutoff.
In all, we traveled 450 miles over 11 consecutive days, camping all but two nights.
This tour was self supported, so we made all the arrangements, navigated, and carried all the things we needed to travel though and camp in the remote back country of Idaho.
……....more to come.
