Another good ride in the high desert area of SoCal.

Oh...that's my neck of the woods.

Bowl and Pitcher.

One time me and my two older boys were walking across the bridge from west to east and the Hawk that lives down river was out hunting. The bird was up pretty high, however, when it came over us while we were on the bridge it was maybe 10-15 feet above of us. So close we felt we could grab it! We were stunned to see the beauty of the bird that close. That was a surreal day for sure one my boys have never forgot.

I commute to work a few days a week riding on the trail over there and sometimes in the mornings there's some great wildlife spotting. Herd of deer grazing, a porcupine ambling by, some Moosen it's a beautiful treasure.

Where is that?

Where is that?

Eastern Washington. Riverside State Park

I thought that looked familiar. One of my uncles was the park ranger there for many years. Remember catching mostly pikeminnow (squaw fish) under the bridge when I was ~12yo, that was a very long time ago.

Have you ridden the Centennial Trail to Idaho? Last year I rode a regular bike from Plummer ID to Wallace and back on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. Not exciting but a nice ride, I was wondering about starting at Riverside State Park and meet up with the trail of the coeur d'alenes if the Centennial Trail and the N Idaho Centennial trail were worth the drive to get back out there again (I live in SW WA)

I've never ridden the Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes, but some friends have. You can make a REAL long trip our of that one.

I live near the start of the Centennial Trail (about 5 miles by car/bike) in Riverside State Park. I've ridden from that point (Sontag Park) to Coeur d' Alene, ID. Once you pass the state line you're on the Idaho Centennial Trail system. There's a couple of places where you are off the trail briefly but it's pretty much a straight shot all the way through to CDA. I'd estimate about 35 miles or more total riding on the trail from the start to CDA (plus some miles off the trail as well) if you made it a round trip from the start to CDA and back you'd be in for 70-80 miles easy. I rode from my house down to the Centennial Trail and out to Post Falls, ID (the city right before CDA) and back and made a little loop of it and it was about 95 miles. Once you get to CDA I'm not sure how far it would be to get to the Trail of the CDA's. Would certainly be a great ride, and you could make it a multi-day ride too if that was your deal. There's some real neat portions of the trail along the river that have great views. Lot's of places to stop and put your legs in the water to cool off as well. Many places to stop for food, water and gas station snacks too.

In this attached picture you can see the route I took, I've highlighted in yellow the Centennial Trail portions...you can see a lot of it runs along the river. At the start there where it says Nine Mile Falls (take a side trip to that...especially with the spring run off...good views) there's some small/short punchy hills but after you get through those it's a real flat ride all the way to CDA.

Kern River Valley today, Lake Isabella in the background. Probably close to 4000 foot elevation and 92F.

I did the 120ish miles from Heyburn state park to Wallace and back in 2 days, spent the night in Wallace. Not sure how to get down from CDA to the trail of the CDA except on 95 which wouldn't be fun but seems to have a wide shoulder. Maybe 97?
I was in CDA again in Nov when I adopted a rescue dog, drove ~800 miles round trip that day, she is worth it.

Nice job on the overnight century+, how was it staying in Wallace? Skied at Silver Mt quite a bit (back in the 80's it was called Silverhorn and had one double chair) but never been to Wallace before.

Yeah, I'd make an 800 mile drive for that beautiful lady too!

I like Wallace and towns like it. I stayed at a campground at the edge of town - nothing special. 2 years ago I stayed at the Wallace Inn for a couple nights, nice but also nothing special. I was there to ride the "route of the Hiawatha" which you have to pay to ride but it was scenic. I think it was 30 miles or less out and back but there are plans to extend the route. There are some impressive and disorienting long black tunnels to ride through - one is over a mile and a half long. I had a bright LED head lamp to light the way but on the trail the lens rattled off so the trip on the way back through the longest tunnel got pretty interesting.
A week after riding the trail of the CDA at the end of Sept. I did a 175 mile 3 day loop in eastern Oregon early Oct. but cheated on an ebike for that ride.

Out the Greenway to Tynehead Park and back today. Even though my left knee and right hip are kinda gimped I've moved from level 3 assist to level 2. More exercise, still feels good.
30kms return with 70% battery left.

Definitely one of THE best looking bikes around. The swoopy top tube excepted.

Yet another great day for a ride and coffee break at the RCAF Memorial lookout at the Pat Bay Airport in Sidney BC.

have been wanting to try the e-bike on Rosedale chimney ever since it arrived ..so today i got karon to drop me off at Gt Ayton. headed out through Kildale then on towards Westerdale with a nice couple of 14% and 20% to warm me up before the big one. lol ...took a breather at Ralph`s Cross before i dropped down to Rosedale .and there it was ..no turning back now . last time i did this bank was about 25 years ago (young and fit) and it almost done me in,
but thanks to the nice bosch cx and the awesome Rohloff e-14 hub made it a little bit easier lol .at the top i headed along the old rosedale railway towards blakey ridge. crossed of the moor road and picked up the rosedale line all the way back to the turn off on the the Cleveland way which puts me back on the road i left that leads back to gt Ayton. then headed home via seamer -hilton and through Ingleby Barwick on there excellent cycle paths . once through Hartburn -longnewton to pick up the cycle path along the A66 to Darlington . which joins up with the cycle path beside the A167. at Coatham Mundeville turned of right for Brafferton so i could call in to have a coffee and cake in rosie`s cafe . then just ambled my way home to get the mileage to 70 .really great day the old legs still feel it though these e-bike still have to be pedalled.. ha ha
