Blackfoot River Road Ride

Howdy, y’all! It’s your favorite pedal-pusher, Bill, strapping in for a breezy two-hour jaunt down Route 200. Got my eyes on the prize: hitting the lodge by 8 PM sharp for our little pow-wow tonight. Catch ya on the flip side!

…Fast Forward Two Hours…

7:50 PM: Just wheeled in from the frosty escapades on Blackfoot, sliding into eChat with seconds to spare. My fingers? More like frozen fish sticks than anything human, and trying to type is like waltzing across a keyboard in ski gloves. It was chillier than a Yeti’s icebox out there, folks.

Kicked off at the crack of 5:30, soaking up every last ray of sun. About 9 miles short of Bonner, I bumped into a gang of road warriors – and I’m not talking about cyclists. Picture this: 15 rams, lined up like they own the place. And from the tales I’ve heard, these guys could give a junkyard crusher a run for its money.

Seeing them hog the road, I wasn’t about to play chicken. Some daredevils in cars just whizzed past, not giving a hoot. One joker even honked at me, like I was the one causing a traffic jam. I sent them the most cordial “how do you do” with my frostbitten finger as I could. After a Mexican standoff with the woolly blockage, I zipped past and made it back in the nick of time.

If you’re itching to get a glimpse of where this chilly showdown went down, hit up the map link. Till we meet again, keep your digits toasty and those wheels spinning!
