Be prepared for HEAT though. It is remote and hot there. Probably good area for sunrise to 11am rides. Find a guide too.CBro said:South of Nampa, there's quite a bit.And probably not much longer a drive than coming to Boise, in some cases. I'm thinking Hemingway Butte, Wilson Creek, Reynolds Creek, etc., etc...

i think that's only in the built-up areas where the concrete holds in the heat. out in kuna it seems to cool off earlier. i've been going for easy road rides after work (part of my broken leg rehab), and it hasn't been all that hot.ianjt said:Also, keep in mind that it stays 104 out until the sun is down (which is like 9-10 at night). The restaurant I work at, no one sits outside until 10 and later.
Hey Mark, good to hear you're on the bike. I've been going to e-mail you to see how the rehab was coming. .......So how's it coming?velosapiens said:i've been going for easy road rides after work (part of my broken leg rehab)
I can imagine it would cool off there...less car exhaust, concrete (like you said), windows; everything that acts like an oven.velosapiens said:i think that's only in the built-up areas where the concrete holds in the heat. out in kuna it seems to cool off earlier. i've been going for easy road rides after work (part of my broken leg rehab), and it hasn't been all that hot.
there is some pretty cool stuff around hemingway and rabbit creek. some of it is sandy tho, and from hemingway south might be overrun with motorheads (like me).
if you only have a few hours to get away, i'd go for dezert stuff the other side of the snake river (towards hemingway). if you have most of the day, it might be worth going through town into the mountains.
coming slowly. still can't walk, but i can pedal. no standing up while pedaling tho, and i've been sticking to the pavement and gravel roads. i can ride my street bike to work (and use a collapsible cane to get around a bit at work).KRob said:Hey Mark, good to hear you're on the bike.
