Appears hunting season can include bicyclists here in Boise this fall. A county jury acquitted Alex Cole Thackery (19 years old) of felony leaving the scene of an injury accident and inattentive driving. These charges stemmed from him hitting a cyclist last October. You’re going to love the technicality that got him off.
Alex hits the cyclists from the rear as they were both traveling in the same direction. Does he stop? No. Instead he drives a mile and a half away. Parks, gets out and see the damage (bicycle tire track imprinted on the bumper, baseball size dent on top of front corner panel on drivers side) to his vehicle. He then walks/runs back to the crime scene and finally calls police. These events took some 45 minutes to transpire.

Woke up this morning to decent skies so the challenge of riding to Bogus was a go. Had some concerns since my riding log isn’t quite as full as last year. Although, I have made the ride to Hilltop four times this year. Filled up the water bottles, tossed a Powerbar and Cliff bar into the jersey pocket and headed off at 8:15A. Getting right to the point:
• Made the 15.5 mile climb in 1:00:07.
• Got passed by a few riders, even a couple that looked my age!
• Max speed on the downhill 37MPH!
• Even got passed on the downhill by a guy that was really cruising.
• Total time for the 41.4 mile ride 3:27:35.

Our teaser February nice days have come just in time. The winter funk had been getting to me. All better now since I got a ride in yesterday and today. Paula reports tons of robins in the neighbor’s tree. Spring is around the corner.
