Afternoon Spin | Prairie–Middle Fork–Barber Flat–Idaho City 7/13/2015

 

Loop ~ 167 miles

Prairie – Middle Fork of  Boise – Alexandra Flats – Barber Flats – Idaho City

Monday morning I got my errands done then decided to do a loop thru Prairie and back through Idaho City.
I estimated it was 110-125 mile loop and I could stop in at Trudy’s for snack but it was closer to 170 miles. 

 

I nailed the timing riding right behind a rain storm.

Smith Creek below Prairie .
Prairie got dumped on, the road was wet slick I had to ride right off the pilot to keep from spinning the
rear.

Long Gulch & Rattle Snake were awesome just enough moisture to improve traction.
I was in my groove zipping along 50-60 mph.

The Middle Fork is a spectacular  ride .

I met Marilyn and Scott at Cancun for a great Mexican meal for dinner.
