Anticipating temperatures in Boise, Idaho to be near 100 today, we got out early having our traditional Route Rap before breakfast. With no interstate travel today, milder climbing, and a shorter distance of only 64 miles we hoped to be in Boise before the late afternoon heat blast. Leaving with 60 degrees and mild headwinds, our group made good but not fantastic time. Being our eighth consecutive day on the road, I found my time much slower than previous days. But this is a tour and not a race.
We made the state line crossing just a half mile from the hotel. Being Monday, traffic picked up a but was not a huge issue. The challenge of the day was staying on course with many turns on back roads. We didn't have spectacular mountain vistas. It was more rural farming and suburban landscapes.
Not sure of the crop in foreground, but the cattle in background made for a quick stop photo op.

How they have fun 'round here...?
It was 102 in the sun when I took this picture around 1:00.
