Day 56: Twin Falls you are a beaut

Today the team rode 43 miles from Rupert to Twin Falls, Idaho. Today was the second easiest day of the ride and it could not have come at a better time. After a few long, hot days many people on the team were not feeling too good. The ride today was pretty easy with good conditions and nice weather. Most of the groups wanted to hustle so that we could enjoy the day and have time to rest. All the groups got to the stayover around noon. This gave us the whole day, so naturally we all piled in the van to run some errands. First stop Jimmy Johns for lunch and Chik-fil-A for a shake! Then the grocery store so chef Matt could prepare for the feast he wanted to make. After a few hours and waiting on Matt hehe we finally made it back to the stayover. The rest of the team was waiting so we could all go see the waterfalls. They were stunning! We spent 2.5 hours staring at the waterfalls from different directions and elevations. we then spent the rest of the afternoon doing laundry and chilling. It was a nice day! Matt prepared us a delicious meal complete with: Salad, Au gratin potatoes (when in Idaho), Chicken with lemon caper sauce, soup and brownies for dessert. It was restaurant quality and so nice of him to spend the day preparing all the dishes!Thank you to our stayover River Christian Fellowship. The ride dedication today was for my aunt Marcy’s mother Evelyn who passed away from lung cancer a few days ago.Rider Spotlight (bringing this back): Mike RotterWhat's been the best part of I4k so far?I would say doing the portraits.
