Pioneer 400 Day 3 This ended up being my shortest day in time and miles. In my head, I had thought of maybe passing through Idaho Falls, restocking and camping on the way to Lava Hot Springs somewhere … it sort of made sense to me. That’s not how it played out and I believe it was for the better. It was a dry, windy, dusty and warm day.
Sawing Logs vs Logging Operations The night before I had seen the signs about a logging operation, but had not planned on the 5 AM arrival of logging equipment/trucks.

Day 2 I had planned to get up around 5 AM, figuring that was more or less my body’s usual wake up time and having gone to bed 1030 or so, it seemed reasonable. I had gotten up a number of times to pee and hadn’t slept well and around 5 I was getting some decent sleep for a few minutes, so I rolled out of the tent officially about 545.

Day 1 After getting out of the house and driving up to the start, I arrived in Logan around 9 AM. I got changed (Joy Ride bike shop back door was open and someone there let me in to use the bathroom etc). I put my bike up on the stand to lube the chain and got changed. As we’ll see later (day 3), I realized I has lost my lube.
