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 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: CWC. Flatted going up Ritchie Rd. Tire completely worn out. Should have checked it before the ride. Booting didn't work. SAG guys gave me a serviceable used tire. Took a long time to get going again, though. By that time I was the last man. No way I was going to finish before the course closed at 5:00. So I took the bail out from Sabillasville and cut the ride to 76 miles.
Bought this tire just last year and it only has 2100 miles on it. Maybe it got scraped some how. Or maybe I bunged it up on the Hiawatha.
Anyway, up till the flat, the ride was great -- perfect weather, nice crowd. Ran into a couple of folks I met riding to the Sheep and Wool Festival last year -- Emily Helmes (leader) and Doug Lesar. |

Comments: Shiloh-Slidell loop. Out on Comus, Shiloh Church, W. Old Baltimore. Back on Bucklodge, Old Bucklodge, White Ground, Shaeffer, Liberty Mill.
Uncomfortably cold for the first hour of this crystal clear morning. Enjoyable nevertheless. Saw a bluebird and a buffalo. One of my best routes.
Lots of climbing. Hillier per mile than the CWC. |
