  1. 20 minutes up the hill from Boise is a vast network of trails. Loggers
    want the land, USFS wants us to keep the trails "pristine" ie, no log
    rides or other cut-in features. Landowners don't care as long as the
    numbers stay reasonable, and Boise area riders tired of the barren
    desert rides below, love this higher stuff!

    So Kahona and I put my new Yakima rack to the test and headed up this
    morning, where it happens to be 20 degrees cooler, and 3,000 feet
    higher. Tough climbs, some technical features, and a lot of fun.
    First time I've ridden the Blade on that stuff, and it pulled me
    through some scary switchbacks and dug me out of some out-of-control
    high speed blunders. Love that bike.

    If our Swedish friends come through town during this summer-long heat
    wave, I'll probably run them up there.

    Here are some pictures:

    Geedub saw my T2 and wanted one for his Liberty. Is yours able to fold
    up with the tire on the back? My SUV has the spare under the chassis so
    it's not a problem.

    yeah, but I had to buy a hitch extender, which is why I had to stop
    with the 2-bike set-up, rather than going to all 4. I love it so far.
    Solid, fast to load and unload.
