Today we drove south of Coeur d'Alene to Plummer to ride the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes rails-to-trails bike path. This is a relatively flat trail that starts in forest west of Lake Coeur d'Alene, then crosses the lake and heads up the Coeur d'Alene river. It is a smooth, paved trail the entire way. Along the way we saw deer, eagles and even one well hidden moose.
Even though the trail follows the lake, river and eventually I-90, there are few places to get water along the first 50 miles. Luckily, just past the 50 mile marker we found a Walmart where we restocked our water and Gaterade supply.
The total ride for the day was 102 miles with only 2000' feet of climbing... most of that in the last 5 miles while it was over 90 degrees.
