This past weekend Monique and I rode the Little Red in Cache Valley for our annual Girl's Weekend. I hate to admit it, but we took the 57 mile route instead of the entire 100 miles, but we didn't regret it. The support, food stops, and route markings were great. 3100 riders rode this year. It gets harder to get into every year because if you forget and don't register as soon as it opens you often lose the chance. I only saw one person I knew out of all those women, crazy as I'm from Cache Valley. The route started in Lewiston and ran through all the little towns on that side of the valley. Gorgeous open, green space! The 100 mile section ran up into Idaho. It's not hard at all to ride that distance when they have refuel sections every 15-20 miles. We bought biking socks and picked up our jerseys at the registration booth the night before the ride. Live bands, silent auctions, more food...
Luckily no problems at all. We road in to the finish line where the big bad wolf handed us glasses of iced gatorade with a strawberry floating on top. All good fun. The weather was perfect!!
