| Comments: Ride Idaho Day 2. Sandpoint loops. Tallest climb ever to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Area. 2580 feet in 9 miles. Didn't turn the pedals once coming down those 9 miles. Fun excursion to Bird Museum at Bottle Bay. |

Comments: Ride Idaho Day 3. Sandpoint to Thompson Falls, Mt. Fell in with a bunch of Frederick Pedalers (who also had adopted John Rossi). They are a friendly bunch.
Beautiful scenery. Mostly low-traffic. Some dirt roads and a few potholes in Mt., but the quiet and the scenery more than made up for it. Riv was easily up to the challange. |

| Comments: Ride Idaho Day 4. Thompson Falls, Mt. to Wallace, Id. Another big climb. About as high as Schweitzer, but more gradual. Terrific descent. Bike mechanics were checking brakes at the top of Thompson Pass. |

Comments: Ride Idaho Day 5. Hiawatha Trail. This Rails to Trails gem is barely accessible. Rode a bus for nearly an hour to get to the top of it, and well more than an hour to get back to camp. It would have been foolish indeed had I persisted in my intention to ride from camp to the trail.
Trail is pretty striking. There's a tunnel almost 9,000 feet long, several other tunnels and trestles. An amazing feat of engineering.
As a late signer-upper, the outfitter that runs the buses was reluctant to rent me a mountain bike, so I took my trusty Riv. It performed flawlessly. Grant P. would be happy. |

Comments: Ride Idaho Day 6. Wallace to Chatcolet. Not the best biking of the tour -- mostly along the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's bike path, of which we retraced a dreary 15 miles from Wed. Even so, it was perhaps the best overall day of the tour because of the high spirits of the Frederick Pedalers I rode with.
Today was over way too fast.

| Comments: RideIdaho Day 7. Chatcolet to Sandpoint. Great scenery all the way. Spent more time than we'd have liked on busy US-95, but that's the way of things in this sparsely populated place. Enjoyably hilly, and over way too soon. |

First ride this year on Univega. It is faster than the Riv. Avg 15.6. Noticed some play in the bottom bracket. |
