Summer Plans - Idaho for 7 weeks

It is almost time to hit the road. We will be living out of our Truck Camper this summer up in Idaho. JP is also coming up with his Camper as well. The plan will be to ride dirt bikes as much as possible and to work remotely through the summer.

No firm agenda or schedule.

We are going to head to Rigby, ID first and spend a couple of days riding trails out of Swan Valley in the Caribou Targhee National Forest.

- Teton Basin Ranger District MVUM


From there we are thinking of moving up to Gold Creek lodge area in Northern Idaho and then moving south as the feeling to move motivates us to try a new area.

We will be around Ketchum Idaho from June 22 through June 30th as Amber is doing a 2 day MTB Coaching clinic for a Level 3 certification so she can coach kids in Montrose in the Fall. Sean will be travelling for work June 24th through June 28th and will not be around.

Boise National Forest
We will be hitting this entire area and will camp and stage out of different areas at different times.

In 19 Days...We'll be en route to IDAHO SUMMER!

Gearing up for Idaho!!!  19 Days away!

We're optimistically thinking we will decide to make time to update the blog again, since we're planning on a long holiday vacation this summer with Whistler and Bishop's first big road trip,  year 8 privateer pro downhill mountain bike racing for Amber, lots of biking and dirt biking for Sean & Amber,  and some motorcycle racing for Sean as well...we'll see how we go :-)

I took care of my international travel early this Spring.  Last summer involved a lot of race travel, and this summer will have significantly less traveling with hopefully more time on the bike, and more time with friends and family.

                                                 Sean & Chris working on my DH bike getting it ready to roll again.
