Day 10-Ione, WA to Sandpoint, ID

Rainy days aren't so bad, are they?


Hey Jeannie Sandmann!! Looks like your bottle opener you gave us for our 2007 xc trip is coming in quite handy!!


Had breakfast here!! Blueberry pancakes!


Breakfast with Brian and Ken

Interesting day! Started out wet and gloomy..pedaled through some showers off and on for the first few hours. The route was flat, scenic-followed along the Pend Oreille River-no traffic! Very relaxing. Saw a couple of deer and an elk! I got my first flat tire --just as Rick got done fixing it, a man came up to us on a bike commuting to work and asked if we needed anything. We didn't, but he insisted that we take one of his spare tubes. Nice man. The last 26 miles into Sandpoint was accompanied by a nice tailwind!! Ended up being sunny and in the 70's by the end of our ride. Our hotel is about a quarter mile from Lake Pend Oreille..so beautiful here
