Take a ride up the Kristin Armstrong Bikeway

BOISE -- Cyclists can follow in Kristin Armstrong's tire tracks with a ride up Bogus Basin Road.

Back in 2010, the Kristin Armstrong Bikeway was dedicated by the city of Boise in honor of Armstrong's first gold medal win in the cycling time trial at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Armstrong chose Bogus Basin Road for her training because its steady climb mimicked the rise on the Beijing course.

The bikeway stretches eight miles from Curling Road to the Ada County line and is marked by special signs.

Someone already made a slight change to the one located at the corner of Curling Road and Bogus Basin Road, using tape and a pen to update Armstrong's gold medal county to three.

Each day, you'll see cyclists getting a workout on the incline on their way up to Bogus.

But if you'd rather enjoy the ride from the comfort of your home or office, check out this video from our drive along the route:
