Century Club And Then Some....

 The "STD" Tour of Idaho crew set out with a goal of 80 plus miles on Saturday to see how the bodies would stand up to the rigors of that can of abuse.  We clocked 103 miles of singletrack, atv trails, and forest service roads.

 Temps were high enough to warrant a side trip to the Pallisades for a swim.

 And some mud rooster tails!

Part of the ride was a test run with our bikes as close to TOI specific as possible.  Drew rode with a tool pack on the back fender, front gas tank where the number plate would normally be, and then another 2 gallons of fuel in his backpack.  We all managed to make it work despite the extra weight.

 Mom, yes, pretty much all the pictures we are throwing on the blog lately are from my phone.  Pretty sweet huh?  And yes, I am tough enough for a pink phone.

 Sunday was hotter than hell too, so, we rode in the Bighole Mountains out of Victor, ID with the mindset of making it to Packsaddle Lake for a swim.  Drew, getting airborne off the rope swing.
