In Memory of Warmer Summers

June 19 to Sandpoint, ID

We swung in to Sandpoint, Idaho on June 19th and decided to stay for another “zero day” as this attractive place seemed to warrant further exploration.  Repeadedly we were told by various residents that they found a gem of a place to live, and some even asked us to not tell anyone about the place.

Ryan came into town and joined us late the same day.  He’d put in a lot of miles catching up and was pretty worn out.  He was concerned about his rear wheel, and after a quick check, that seemed valid as he was suffering from a broken spoke.  We scoured the four bike shops in town and eventually ordered parts that would take a couple of days out of Ryan’s schedule to get a new wheel built.  We couldn’t have been in a better place for a lay-over however, we enjoyed some very good food and Ryan had time to enjoy some of the local events including an evening ride with local cyclists for a Strawberry Moon/Summer Solstice ride. 

We do lots of these - a shower is a shower any way one can get one!

"Yep. You can pitch those tents back there in the tall grass, no charge."
