TIP #1

Don’t be afraid to deviate from the main route.

Idaho is special.  Capturing all of its glory in one ride, on one route, impossible.  However, you can add other points of interest to your ride.

Don’t be afraid to go off-route to chase down fire lookouts, waterfalls, whatever.

Better accommodations can also be found by adding a few miles to the end of any day.

TIP #2

Prepare for all weather conditions.

This isn’t Colorado.  You won’t be ascending 12000′ peaks.  In fact, you won’t even clear 9,000 feet.

That doesn’t mean you the weather won’t get the best of you, though.  In 2019, our first 4 days were littered with heavy rain.  Temps were in the low 40s.

Good gear.  Gore-Tex riding jackets and pants.  Warm gloves.  Layers.
