We are in Sandpoint ID. We had another 70 mile day from Ione, WA to here. We had a beautiful campsite last night on the Pend Oreille River. It was a DNR campsite without amenities, except for the beautiful view! It was quiet, just our group and campground hosts.
We had a pretty ride today with rolling hills. We broke 2 more spokes today! Doug is at the bike shop now, trying to get the wheel rebuilt with heavier duty spokes. The shop didn't have enough spokes, so he had to borrow a bike to ride across town to a different shop to pick some up.
We are at the Best Western motel and RV park tonight. The camping site is really bad, and they charge $40, but we can use the pool, spa and showers. There is also a nice beach out front, so we'll probably stay.
We are doing well....tired, but happy!
Therese and Doug
HI T + D,
ReplyDeleteWhat's with those spokes? Good to hear from you the other night. I am quite envious of your adventure. Continue to have happy pedaling! anne
Hey, Doug and Therese! I finally found your blog (actually, Rita wrote the URL on a post-it, so "finding" is too strong a word:)). I hope that the bike shop and Doug are able to figure out the spoke situation. That sounds really annoying. I guess every bicycle trip has to have one small mechanical annoyance. It will make for good storytelling (AFTER the trip:)).
ReplyDeleteThe scenery sounds amazing - everything one imagines about the West. Have a great ride, and I look forward to reading the next posting.
