Today's ride was a 60-miler over to Hot Sulpher Springs. Mostly downhill (we're back to 7thou-ish) with very few mountains along the ride. We had a mixture of brown/scrubby land and wooded/grassy stuff, and the rivers just look amazing. Crystal clear, enough rapids to make them interesting - they really just look pristine. While the middle of the day was pretty boring, the last bit of our ride was awesome. We'll have another climb tomorrow, so we came back in sight of the mountains, and we ended up winding our way through Byers Canyon, which has steep, crumbling rock walls surrounding a lovely river. Traffic has picked up for the 4th, and we're trying to get off the roads pretty early in the day. We've holed up in a library for a bit, and it's pouring outside. (We've been running from this system all day.) Hopefully, we'll find some good shelter when we get kicked out in 15 minutes.
