Sandpoint Post
I traveled about 80 miles today.
Had a nice rest day at Shoshone with Josh yesterday. Met lots of other staffers who were interested in my trip.
Got an early start this morning, Josh and his friend Andrew drove me back to the snake pit where I ended on Saturday. Biked to Coeur d'Alene, then up to Sandpoint. Got to Sandpoint a little after noon, stopped by the bike shop to get a new chain, brakes, and extra patches. Headed over to MickDuffs, the local brewery, to grab a beer and wait for Steve to show up. They had an exceptionally good black ipa, which is a difficult style to do well.
Met up with Steve, my warm showers host, and got a ride to his house a little out of town.
Swapped my brake pads and got those adjusted nicely. Had a nice time chatting with Steve and his wife Meg about bikes and other stuff.
There is a the mile long bridge coming into Sandpoint, the picture is from just after I got off the bridge and onto the bike path by the big lake.
Had a big pasta dinner before heading to bed pretty early. Excited for tomorrow, getting back on a US bicycle route. May run into Cadence in the next few days, depending on if she got ahead of me while I was going through the silver valley.
