Burley, ID to Twin Falls, ID

This was our shortest mileage day: 34.9 miles. I could have done it, but don’t want to put additional stress on my wrist just yet. I slept in the van and the riders said I didn’t miss much: just fields and fields of crops. Everyone was in a good mood because we got to sleep in until 7 (that’s an extra 3.5 hours of sleep for me!), it was Emma’s birthday, an easy riding day, and prom was that evening!

The van can be a restful and soothing place, but it can also be very hectic because of all the things that need to be done. Lacy and I got lost a few times, had to pick up a rider’s prom outfit, went to a fast food restaurant for Internet access, got gas, went to a wig store out of town for a rider, and then stopped at a barber shop to pick up a stereo system for prom.


Bike & Build prom has been a month in the making – since Trinidad, Colorado! It’s so classic Bike & Build because we don’t need much to be happy, planned it ourselves, and had no budget. The event really came together at the last minute. Austin made some phone calls and reserved a pavilion at a park in a beautiful canyon. Chris got a hairdresser to lend us speakers for music. Nyx photographed everyone in their thrift store outfits. I put together the superlatives for prom: Best Male Twerk, Cutest Couple, Best Air Guitar Performance, to name a few. The event itself was a ton of fun, lots of dancing, and an overall really memorable night.
