The notorious Butch Cassidy had a high profile bank robbery in Montpelier, Idaho. The Pedaling Pioneer, or should I say the Pedaling Policeman, is here to tell the dramatic tale which, of course, includes a bicycle.
Idaho
Rolling Into Idaho and Down Big Hill
By the time the pioneers had entered Idaho, they had traveled over 1,300 miles with approximately 700 miles left on their journey to Oregon City, Oregon. The excitement of the adventure had dissipated into the heat and exhaustion that had settled upon the wagon trains by July and August when they would be crossing into Idaho.
Follow this link to learn about the obstacles and dangers the pioneers found in the next to last state they would cross on their journey to their destination and all the promise that awaited them there.

A HUGE Thank You to Barrie’s Bike and Ski Shop!
All the gear grinding for the past 560+ miles since June 1st finally took its toll on my trusty bike, but thankfully we found Barrie’s Bike and Ski Shop in Pocatello, Idaho! Barrie, the owner, and Kai, the skilled mechanic, took care of my bike and now its good as new! These next 540 miles to Oregon City, Oregon should be smooth sailing. Oregon or bust!
