Went to McCall for Christmas. Took the bike along to try some riding in the McCall snow. The riding went really good. It was nice not having the trailer attached to the back of the bike. Hauling that slows me down especially if there powdery snow.
On Friday the 24th I did almost 3 miles. The sky was overcast and the temperature was a balmy 15 degrees. I started at the house and rode out past the airport to the old dump and then back into town all the way to the library. The trail was well groomed and the ride was pretty easy. Didn't have any problem with slick spots.
Christmas Day was the day for another ride. The weather really cooperated this day and it ended up being partly cloudy with a temperature of 22 degrees. Talk about a heat wave. This ride would end up being 6.25 miles long. I rode out towards the airport and rode part of the route that we did for the first day of the MS150. It was a very good day and a very good ride. Kind of wish I would have gone for a longer one.
Sunday the 26th brought a little bit of snow. I was going to go out during one of the storms but by the time I got out there it had stopped. I ended up doing the same ride I did on Friday. It was overcast and the temperature was 23 degrees. There was about an inch of snow on the road and trail which made it a little harder to navigate.
Final ride of the year came at home on December 31st. 10 degrees and clear skies. Ended up doing about 8 miles through town and a little way on the non-plowed Chipman Trail. I was hoping to get out as far as the state line or the Toyota dealer but that was fine. Certain parts of my body were really not enjoying the cold.
All in all this year was a great one for me in the number of miles ridden. Over 2500 miles covered and several really good long rides on the mountain and road bikes.
Biking in and around Moscow, plus other things that randomly seem to make sense to me.

It is really that cold
Decided to ride the bike to work today. In order to ride I needed to put the knobby tires back on the bike the last night. It was cold just trying to get them on. I started wondering if I really wanted to ride. I ended up bringing the back wheel in to get it warmed up so that it would be easier to change the tire. After getting it changed and back on the bike I realized the it would be best to ride.
Temperature was a balmy -5 degrees with no wind when I left for work. The tires gripped the snow real well. Sure am glad that I changed them out. Rode 2.9 miles to get to work at an average speed of 9.2 mph. I think my maximum speed ended up being a little over 17 mph. Don't think I could do anymore then that. It was getting pretty chilly on the fingers and toes as I got closer to work.
The ride home was an even warmer 8 degrees and the wind chill made it -2. Ended up doing 2.6 miles with a maximum speed of 16.8 mph. The average speed ended up being 8.1 mph. A little slower going home. I guess I was in no hurry since I was just going home.
All in all it was an enjoyable time riding the bike and I am planning on riding to work more during the month of December.

Riding Along - Haiku
Riding on the road
Dry leaves crunching and flying
Hopefully no snow
Fairly cold riding these past few days back and forth to work. I really am enjoying not having to drive onto campus. I do drive everyone to their morning destinations. The car is then parked at home and then I ride. I notice a lot of other people are riding up onto campus.

MS Ride - Day 2 - Part 2 of 2
Joe Vandal’s Perspective – Alright, already!
Bill is standing over me with a yard stick making me finish this tale of bicycling mayhem.
The last thing Bill and Steve were doing was resting at the turnaround rest stop. After resting they decided to head on back to McCall.
I should pause right here and say that I was never offered a snack along the way. I was not offered the smallest of morsel to keep me going on this ride. I was not even offered any water. You would think that these two people would have thought of offering this poor mascot something for his effort during this two day ride. Oh, the humanity. At least I did not have to peddle the bike.
As we rode out of the resort we saw quite a few other bikers heading towards the turnaround. Steve and Bill chatted as they made their way. Don’t really recall much of the conversation that they had since I was busy worrying about what everyone was thinking of when they passed by us. I also had different questions that went through my mind: was my hair messed up; did it look weird with me riding in front of this jersey; is bicycle riding actually fun…?
We did see Deb riding towards us. She was looking good as she headed towards the turnaround. We just kept on going towards the Donnelly. Every so often Bill or Steve would have to pull in front of the other to let cars go by. We continued to see other riders heading out to the turnaround. We finally made it to Donnelly and had a little rest.
We crossed Highway 55 to follow our bike tracks back to Roseberry. This part of the ride was more of a chat session again. Bill said later that it was nice to have Steve ride with him on the way back. We passed all sorts of things on the way back: Cows, horses, old buildings, a Finnish Cemetery, and European Fallow Deer. I don’t remember seeing these things on the way out. It might have been that we travelled at a much greater speed then when we came back. We did have a little bit of a head wind so it did make it a little slower going.
We stopped at the final rest area at the turn off for Jug Mountain before finishing up the ride. They did not need a snack here so Steve and Bill got back on the bikes and headed out. The rest of the ride was pretty good. The climb up the back side of Bethel Hill went pretty good. Bill said that this is the fastest he has gone up it. Ride down the other side and take the turn to head over towards the middle school. Then back across the highway to follow get towards Alpine Village.
It was a great sight to see the finish line for the ride. This meant that I did not have to be riding along for a while and that we would be heading back up to Moscow a little bit later. Bill and Steve waited for a while to see if Deb was coming but she had rode back to the house since she had bonked (hit the wall, ran out of energy) part way back to McCall. When Bill and Steve heard that she was at the house they went ahead and ate lunch and Alpine Village and then wondered back over to the house.
Bill and I will do this again next year and I think he wants to take me on the 4 Summit Ride next July. I think that will be quite the ride. He tells me that it is quite a bit more climbing then the first day of this ride.

MS Ride - Day 2 - Part 1 of 2
Joe Vandal’s Perspective - Do you really?
I did not have to get up early on this second day of the ride. I slept attached to Bill’s Camelbak on the floor of the living room. Not a very comfortable position to sleep in. Deb and Steve had dog problems during the night. Lucy decided that sleeping was not required. Bill said that he had a very good sleep. The beer and massage must have really helped.
Bill’s dad made up a bunch of sourdough pancakes the night before which Deb, Steve and Bill ate. Nothing like wonderful sourdough pancakes to get a person going in the morning.
Water bottles were filled. Air was checked on tires. The bike that Bill has is pretty cool. Deb and Steve came out dressed in their Vandal gear. To my horror Bill came out with a jersey that made me kind of throw up in my mouth. He explained to me that his cousin Summer had been wondering why he never wore anything with blue and orange. He said that if she came up with $200 in pledges for MS he would wear a BSU jersey. So she ended up getting the $200 and Bill had to wear a jersey on the second day.
Before I continue with the tale of the second day, Bill wants to share a little something he wrote with the help of Victoria.
Orange and blue I wore
Pledges from Summer condemn
My silver and gold
The wonderful thing is that the only clothing on Bill that was not Vandal was the jersey. Bill even had his Vandal bike for this day of the ride. Once Bill put on his Camelbak I was able to overshadow the bronco on his chest. This was going to be an interesting ride.
Deb and Steve went ahead to the starting area in search of some coffee, while Bill waited for Amy and Todd (a couple who live in Moscow that came down to do the ride) to drop their kids off. Victoria and Rachel were going to hang out with them while everyone was out riding. After getting the kids all settled in, Amy and Bill rode over while Todd drove over. The air was a little cooler but the sun was out and ready to warm everything up.
I couldn’t help thinking back to the start from yesterday and hope that all the right turns would be taken today. Steve and Deb were waiting with coffee in hand. Pam arrived to take a picture of all of us and wish us a safe ride. The time was getting close to get on the bikes and ride. Deb, Steve and Bill moved to the starting area and then they were off. Everything went perfectly. No wrong turns and no bikes dropped in the middle of the road.
Steve and Bill headed out with Deb following behind. I could tell that it was going to be a faster ride then yesterday. We went by the airport for the third time this weekend. This time after crossing the highway we ended up turning right to go to Elo Road and onto Farm-to-Market Road. The first challenge was coming up called Bethel Hill. Bill actually stood up and peddled past a few of the bikers. He said that most times he would get stuck behind somebody as people passed him. Down the other side we went. Tucked down and watching the road.
We came to another climb and Bill didn’t stand up on this one he just sat back and peddled up it at a pretty good clip. After the climb it was pretty flat to get to the first rest stop where Steve was waiting for us. Steve and Bill rode together for a while after the rest stop then Steve started gaining ground. Bill kept a pretty good pace. He wasn’t going so fast that I could not see what we were going by. This is a pretty area to ride a bike.
We finally got to Roseberry and turned right to head towards Donnelly. There were two bikers riding in the middle of the road and Bill hollered out "To Your Left" and one of them said that he had scared them. Good thing it was him and not somebody in a car because that would have been even scarier.
Finally we reach Donnelly and the second rest stop. Steve is waiting and they get some snacks for the ride out to the turn around. I was hung on Bill’s handle bar at this point so that he could use the port-a-potty. When he was finished we got back on the bike and headed out towards Tamarack Resort. This time Steve and Bill rode together. They made pretty good time especially when Steve was in front setting the pace. Bill followed pretty closely and was almost swallowed up by some of the manhole covers that are littered along the roadway. Steve would point them out and Bill would miss them just in the nick of time. They arrived at the turnaround rest stop and rested for a little while.

MS Ride - Day 1 - Part 3 of 3
Joe Vandal’s Perspective – I think I can – 25 more miles is all
We got to the house and Bill got some extra food and water to take along just in case. Bill said that if he sat down he probably would not want to get back up again so we just kept on going. Back onto the bike and heading out to go around the lake.
We did a loop to start out to add a little mileage since the route around the lake is about 20 miles. The wind had actually died down a bit so the start of the ride went a little easier. We connected into the same route through Spring Mountain Ranch from earlier in the day. We continued out around the lake. This time we did not need to turn around at the condominiums because no one was standing there telling us to turn around. Gravel road was going to be our friend for the next few miles. If gravel is our friend then dust was going to be our enemy. Cars sure can create a lot of dust when they go by. I could hear Bill hacking every so often when a car went by. It was hard on my eyes to see as we went. When there were no cars the scenery was very nice this way. There is one downhill section that is makes your hair stand up straight. Of course Bill does not have an issue with that. The bottom of this section curves left but slopes right causing the tires to slide to the right. Can’t go to fast through here since you really need to stay in your lane to keep from missing cars.
The north end of the lake was busy with activity. Boats and other watercraft parked with people having a fun time. No time to stop for us since we had to finish this ride. The river that feeds into the lake had a lot of canoes and kayaks on it. We got to the 10 miles to go mark and Bill started to ponder turning around and going back. I mentioned to him that it really didn’t matter since we would still have to bike the 10 miles to get back. He just shook his head and kept on going. After 6 hours on a bike he was getting rummy.
From gravel to paved road was a nice transition. We headed towards McCall on Warren Wagon Road. It seemed like we had been this way earlier. Not much had changed since the last time here so it was just peddle, peddle, and peddle our way along the road. Finally making it to downtown and then to the house. Almost 7 hours and 100 miles on the mountain bike was quite the feat.
The only things on Bill’s mind were getting taking a shower, getting a massage, eating dinner, having a beer and going to bed. He was not very sore but the shower and massage would help relieve the muscle tightness. The meal and the beer would just be icing on the day. Sleep would be good since Sunday brings 50 miles of road biking. I hope I am ready for it. I will be hanging on for dear life again.

MS150 Ride – Day 1 – Part 2 of 3
Joe Vandal’s Perspective - Into the Wind
We stopped about 200 yards up from the "Y" so that Bill could take a couple of pictures. The wind was blowing kind of hard at this point. We started up again and the wind was making for some slow going. It did make it easier to see things as we rode along. A couple of miles after the turn we saw Steve heading down and Bill told him that we would meet him back up at the top of the summit. The climb was not that bad. Riders were yelling excitedly as they came down from the summit and a guy that was passing us said that they still had to ride back up with the wind blowing on them. When we got to the rest area Bill got a Payday bar and had a couple of pickles. One of the other riders told Bill that pickles help when riding.
Steve made it back to the top and we chatted for a little bit. We never did see Deb at the top, so we went ahead and started down towards McCall. Steve went out ahead and we just coasted down the road after him. The wind made the trip down a little slower than when we went down the other side. Bill told me about the deer that ran out in front of him on this part of the ride a couple of years ago. After he told me this I kept my eyes peeled for any movement on both sides of the road. The upper lake came into view and I marveled at the colors. The burned out trees are starting to have more and more smaller trees and bushes growing among them. This area was pretty well devastated several years ago from fires that came through and it is nice to see more and more vegetation growing.
We finally made it to the rest stop where Deb and Steve were waiting for us. Deb had actually made it to the summit but it was a couple of minutes after Steve had gone down the back side. They got more fuel for the ride in and headed off towards the big long gravel part. Everyone made it through just fine and started the trek toward McCall. There were a lot more cars driving on the road now. This was making it a little scarier for me to be on a bike. Bill didn’t seem to mind and I think he actually liked having the cars and trucks driving by. Deb and Bill stayed with Steve for a little while but then Steve started going at Steve-pace. Before he started off they decided that they would meet at Deb and Bill’s Dad’s office to walk over to the McCall Brewery for the after ride lunch. Deb and Bill plugged along getting closer to McCall as the seconds passed. Finally they reached the turn onto the main road and Steve was waiting at Lardo’s to ride with them across town.
The ride across town was not very eventful. They basically acted like they were lost as they went this way and that. I was thinking that somebody had been drinking something other than water on the ride. They finally made it to the office and put their bikes inside before walking to lunch. Bill took me off of the Camelbak and carried me over so that I could watch them eat. They had a potato with fixings and a make your own salad. Pretty good stuff and Bill said that it tasted good. After they finished up lunch they went and got the bikes and went back to the house. Deb and Steve decided that they did not want to do any more riding for the day. Bill said that he would go ahead and do a loop around the lake to get 100 miles for the day.
