Selkirk Loop Ride, Day 9, Bonners Ferry to Sandpoint

44 miles, 1500' of elevation gain, mid-40 degree temps and pouring rain the entire ride.
   No one wanted to leave our B&B school house. The breakfast was outstanding. little cozy sitting rooms dispersed around the inn and the rain gave us more reasons to stay than go. Unfortunately, we needed to get to the next town so off we went. I rode with Dick and Janet today and the company was a great morale booster and kept me going through some tough weather and riding conditions.
   We were on a few busy roads and the spray from the big trucks were annoying and the traffic with the rain made riding sometimes less than safe. Nevertheless, everyone just kept going and we all finished into a beautiful hotel located right on the lake. Laundry is everywhere drying and bike has been cleaned again.
   The are seems to be lovely and hopefully we will go out exploring latter.
