How to have fun in Boise, ID this week!

My partner and I are heading out to Boise late tomorrow night (10/8) and we'll be staying though Friday (10/11) night. I'd love to hear people's opinions on the best hits - restaurants, hikes, downtown walks, art galleries, museums, coffee shops (ideally with WiFi), bike shops, anything else. Also, if you know of any great road bike rides, I'll gladly accept input on that as well, since I'll be traveling with my bike. We'll be staying downtown at the Modern Hotel.
Best answer: My family were in Boise for a few days over the summer and really enjoyed it! I had my road bike and did Bogus Basin Road up to the ski area, which was beautiful in July and probably very pretty right now with fall colors -- highly recommended. It's about a 40-mile round trip from downtown and about 4k feet of climbing.
For entertainment, simply walking around downtown is delightful, especially the display of old steam tractors.

there's a really cool art graffiti alley in downtown.
