Speed Limit Enforcement

by scott | 0 comments

I’m no economist, but I don’t understand why police aren’t ticketing folks who are chronically driving above the speed limit in McCall. In this time of fiscal belt-tightening, it seems that enforcing laws that actually generate revenue might be a good thing.
Two roads that I ride and drive frequently, Lick Creek Road and Farm [...]

Mountain Bike to Loon Lake

by scott | 0 comments

 
We rode mountain bikes up to Loon Lake July 13th.  It was a great ride, made up predominantly of totally rideable single track.  Note that there are a couple ways to do this ride and we went up and back the same way — which was NOT following the Secesh River up or down.  We [...]

Bike Around Payette Lake

I’ve been bicycling around Payette lake the last few days on a road bike as it’s a fun and quick way to get roughly ~16 miles in at tempo.  I wasn’t sure how the dirt section would be on a road bike and have spent way too much timing thinking about what kind of bike [...]

The group was headed up by many local CIMBA (Central Idaho Mountain Bike Association) riders who knew the trail well. Also, special thanks to the Careys of Jug Mountain Ranch who let mountain bikers [...]

Ice Canoeing on Payette Lake

by scott | 0 comments

With the weather turning a little bit South the past few days — and just a bit too grim to get all that excited to ride, we decided to pull a Shackleton and head out in the boat (canoe) into the arctic (partially ice-free Payette Lake) to do some serious exploration.  ”Awesome” is the only [...]

Potholes? What Potholes?

by scott | 0 comments

Think it and you shall receive. On April 14th, I was biking on Lick Creek Road prior to the Little Payette Lake turn off and thinking to myself, “Man, there are some big potholes forming, I hope they get filled before they become so big that they have to repave – that’s expensive.” [...]

A family member just emailed me this photo.  Pretty funny.  I’m not sure what he was getting at though.  I’m not this BAD! 
Cheers,
