Day 67 - Boise, ID to Ontario, OR

Today's ride was pretty low key. It was flat except for maybe 5 really short hills so we moved quick. It's funny that I wouldn't even really count today's hills after all I've biked up this summer. It did get pretty hot but we got the host early so we missed the worst of the heat. The only hitch in the plan was that there wasn't a state sign on the road we took into Oregon so we had to bike an extra 2.5 miles past the host to get a proper state line picture. But it's all gravy.

Before the route meeting this morning everyone put on self-adhesive mustaches for a Mustache Bash. I'm not sure why... It's not even Monday... 

Before leaving Boise, I broke into the stadium because I just had to have a picture on the infamous blue turf. 

There just happened to be a couple guys already on the field. Ashley and I struck up a conversation with them and we told them what we're doing this summer. I think we impressed them. Haha... Shout-out to #20 Terrell Johnson! I'll be looking for you this coming fall. I seriously can't wait for football season!

Apparently we passed a cheese factory today and got a huge cheese donation? Feta. Brie. Pepper jack. Provolone. You name it, we've got it! And I'm not complaining! I think we should have cheese at every lunch stop and it's possible that we might just have enough to last until the end of the trip. Then again, we eat a ton. 

I've come all this way and until today haven't taken a single picture in a corn field. I'm glad I waited because this was the tallest corn we've seen. It was at least 8 feet tall!

When I crossed into Oregon today I was seriously so excited. I can see the finish line and I know now that I'm going to make it. There was a while were I was thinking that there was no possible way... But here I am, just Oregon and California to go!
