Day 6 - Spokane to Sandpoint Idaho - 83mi

After a day off the bikes, we got back at it today and headed up into the wooded mountains of Northeast Washington and Northern Idaho.  After spending a frustrating early morning trying to get back on route after missing a turn, the ride turned beautiful as we climbed into the pine scented hills.  Later in the day we began to parallel the Pend O'reille river.  Tomorrow we will ride along lake Pend O'reille in the morning.  Sandpoint is a nice town, I even got the chance to go to church this evening!  We leave at 6:00am tomorrow for Thompson Falls, Montana.  Should be one of the most scenic rides of the trip, and I am looking forward to it!
