I see the photo is you at lucky peak? did you just go to the dam and turn around?

Thanks! The photo was taken on Saturday at about mile 82 of a 105 mile ride. We started in Meridian and went west until we could basically hit the old Emmett Highway. We came into Emmet from the West and then climbed out of Old Freeze-out (a very fun climb and descent). Then we cruised East on Floating Feather to Hill Road to Boise and out Warm Springs to the top of the Dam. Plan was to go to Hilltop but I bonked a bit when the group attacked in Emmett and never really recovered. After the dam, we just cruised home on ParkCenter to Front to Ustick. Good ride except for the 30 minute snowstorm on WarmSprings.

I hear you about yesterday. I wanted to ride the bike to run some errands and threw in the towel after stepping outside in that wind.
