Today the team rode 75 miles from Pocatello to Rupert, Idaho! It was a very windy ride, with headwinds coming straight at us for all 75 miles. After the first rest stop some groups stopped at The Ranch Bakery in American Falls! It proved to be a hidden gem, with the nicest people working there who gave the team ice. At The Ranch, a few of us met a women named Diane who shared/filmed a portrait about her scary and sad experience with cancer after taking care of her brother in his final months. The Ranch was nice enough to provide the portrait group with homemade cinnamon rolls. They were delicious! We then continued riding through some hilly parts. The first group noticed a patch of dust up ahead. When they got closer they realized that there was a car on the side of the road with a man inside asleep. Because we were in the middle of nowhere with close to no cars they found it suspicious. When they tried to see if the man was ok he was unresponsive. They were quick to call the police and check his pulse! The man eventually woke up and appeared very out of it. The group left the rest to the police. Shoutout to that group ( Mike, Sofie, Eric, Rachel) for being hero’s today.

Thank you to First Christian praise chapel for hosting us tonight and providing us dinner!
