\"nr10001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today we are out of the mountains a bit but still have a couple thousand feet of climbing before a BIG 4 mile fast descent into our home for the night, Ione, WA. Beautiful scenery as we cycled along the back roads heading towards Colville.<\/p>\n

\"nr10002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike, D and Anne round the curve in front of me. The sun coming up, no wind, great scenery and no traffic . . . perfect riding conditions.<\/p>\n

\"nr10003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Somewhere out in this vicinity (red circle) was Sherman Pass that we came over yesterday. At 5,557 feet it is the highest point we have been over so far.<\/p>\n

\"nr10004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we approach Colville it looked like they were having a \u2018Fire Sale\u2019 on white goods. Slight used though . . . however we could use a cooler!<\/p>\n

\"nr10005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bernie and Corvin are cooking tonight and when we passed through Coleville\u00a0 I saw Bernie pull into the Gallo Meat store and\u00a0 . . . maybe by half a hog??? The way we eat no problem\u00a0 . . . and our nightly food budget is $240!!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great scenery as we pedal through the countryside . . .<\/p>\n

\"nr10009\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mirror image . . . nice!<\/p>\n

\"nr10010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This may have been the way to go . . . but it was off route.<\/p>\n

\"nr10011\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Impromptu sandwich break at 35 miles . . .<\/p>\n

\"nr10012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David, our British cyclist, showing his affection for the good old US of A . . .<\/p>\n

\"nr10013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . but also flying his own colors today!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10014\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time to head out again down thee road.<\/p>\n

\"nr10015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Down the hill . . . before we spent considerable time going back up and up.\u00a0 Several 10 percent grades. Everyone agreed the route today was tougher than we thought it was going to be.<\/p>\n

\"nr10016\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel like I am related to whomever lives on this road!!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10017\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With 12 miles more to go we arrived and the Beaver Lodge Resort and Trading Post where there were Gatorades and Starbuck Ice Cappuccinos all around!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10018\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . and finally one of the fastest down hills we have had. REALLY fun. Long straight away so you could really let it rip!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10019\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we turned to Ione, there was this sign. I don\u2019t have the big geographic image in my head yet I guess. I was surprised we were this close to Canada!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10020\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we entered Ione I was also surprised to see a Wisconsin Ave sign!!! Small world. We\u00a0 own\u00a0 . . . Ione!!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10021\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We are staying at the Cedarview RV park and camping in the owners backyard. YES . . . Garden Party!!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10022\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David was one of the first in today and I got a good look at his tent. I finally realized it reminded me of a black trash can liner. VERY light but we\u2019ll see how it handles the July and August sun!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10023\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But he found a VERY comfortable place to relax!!!!<\/p>\n

\"nr10024\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Linda and her husband Dave were VERY accommodating even providing us with extra cooking utensils and the use of their personal deck for our prep station!!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yummy chicken asparagus risotto dinner followed by smores for dessert!!!<\/p>\n
