The Hon. Peter Krichman (California) alleged that Lynette Chiang 'pushed me all the way back to camp'. 'It's called 'getting chicked' said Air Friday owner, Anne Shaw. You won't stay in front of our little wheels for long, buddy! Manfred Schwoch challenges a Hutch's big-wheeler on his Campy Chorus 9 Pocket Rocket Pro. Michel Braud sneaks up center... oui oui, petite velo! Some of the stark rock formations seen in the wild east heading towards Snake River. Tim Link was enchanted by the bold and slightly alien looking shrubbery which says 'I'm here to stay! '

More scrubby bushes... the goathead stickers took the wind out most of the tires in this region... Fantastic scenery around the Snake River... Day 2: The most scenic day of all. Everyone was careful to lay their bikes down to avoid the nasty goathead stickers that ate rubber. ... like this ...

... and this. "I hate this river," said Charlie "Tuna" DeRego. "You can't land a plane on it, it's all mud." A great backdrop for BF Salesguy Tim Link. This is what it's all about - great scenery, ambling pace, smelling the roses... Lunch was a sandwich, fruit , drink and dangerous looking cookies. Lynette Chiang and Dan "no brakes" Fallorina amazingly end up at the same rest stop. One of the downhills was 40 miles long...
