After a couple loops around the lake and a short weekend trip out to Givens Hot Springs on the hottest weekend of the year, we're ready for our 200 mile loop this week. We'll start in Stanley and head northeast to Challis. From there we'll go south down past Mt. Borah and then right through some high desert and up and over a small pass into Sun Valley. Then we'll head back north, up and over Galena Summit (8,772') and coast down into the Stanley basin. If we still have any energy, we'll take a short detour over to my favorite of all lakes, Redfish! That would be a great place for a burger to wrap up a very scenic ride. This loop looks a bit intimidating on mapmyride.com but compared to the McCall loop last Fall, it is less technical, so I'm sure we'll be fine! My only worry is, upon our return, we'll have withdrawals. Last Fall we just wanted to keep on riding at the end of the trip. So, maybe we will... just keep on riding right on through Stanley and down to Lowman, maybe even Banks! We'd have to go back to Stanley for our vehicle though. Hmmm... it's probably worth it.
