Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes
For the July 4th weekend we put our bikes on the car and drove 2 hours west to ride the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, 75 miles of paved pathway closed to all motorized vehicles. While riding I was constantly thinking, “Why can’t we have more paths like this?”
Our first day there we did two separate rides, from where we were staying at the lovely Blue Anchor RV park in Osburn, Idaho to the eastern end of the trail in Mullan, about 23 miles roundtrip. In the evening we drove to the Medimont Trailhead and biked to Harrison, on Lake Coeur d’Alene, a ride of similar length.
Too bad for the crowds and the sweltering heat. But the biking was good regardless.
^ sarcasm ^ (except for the last part)… there was no heat anywhere near us. I can assure you.
