Day 5 - Spokane to Sandpoint, Idaho

Ride Stats:
Distance: 84.0 Miles
Climbing: 3,186ft
Ride Time:  5:12


Today seemed like a party.  With the relatively short day everyone seemed to kick back, ride easy and spend more time socializing in larger groups.  Today also marked our first state line crossing- Idaho.  Normally the ride brakes down into small groups that tend to morph throughout the day as people try to stay within their individual comfort zone.  We took more time at the rest and lunch stops visiting and relaxing.  Good time to recover for the big days we have coming up next week.

Every day is an adventure with new and changing landscapes.  Just north of Spokane become more heavily wooded with rolling hills. We skirted around some mountains then followed the Pend Oreille River to Lake Oreille then Sandpoint.

Pictures from today.  Go to the PAC Tour website for better shots of the scenery:
