38 miles, 750' of elevation gain, 50 - 80 degrees under clear blue skies
We walked around the resort for a short time and got a little latter start as the area was worth enjoying. The room in Spokane was not likely to be ready until 2 so we thought it best to sleep in and stay in Coeur d'Alene for a little longer.
Once on the road, I cycled with the two tandems for a few miles. The entire ride was on the Centennial Trail which links Coeur d'Alene to Spokane and with the exception of a few road crossings was straight forward. The most scenic was when we road along the Spokane River all the way to the back door of the Doubletree Hotel. Once checked in, I packed my coupled bike and am always happy to have it all fit back into the case.
The bike tour was absolutely great with interesting riding, towns and hotels. Good company with the other 12 in our group. I would highly recommend riding the International Selkirk Loop to any cycle tourists.
Just caught up on this whole trip - it sounds lovely. I especially like the "no traffic" and "good food" parts.
