The moment we will remember
Wind across the Snake River Plain with no shoulder to ride on and nowhere to shelter, and the decision to load the tandem rather than gamble with it.
“Judgement is part of the ride, not an interruption of it.”

One hundred kilometres portaged, Rexburg to Arco. It is recorded here rather than quietly absorbed, because a record attempt is worth exactly what its honesty is worth.
