Two more days riding the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes… 40 miles ridden, 20 miles of forward progress. The biking is wonderful and the local sightseeing is great. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to do both.
Read MoreThere were a few logistical problems to work out before tackling the rest of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. The Trail is 73 miles long across the panhandle of Idaho. Thus far, we’d ridden only about 19 miles of it at the western end between Plummer and Springston, riding in both directions in order to get back to Blue each evening. What other alternatives were there for getting back and forth to the trailheads?
Read MoreWe’ve always been pretty good at making lemonade out of lemons and we’d discussed Blue’s upcoming repair dilemma at length. Though it would be nice to complete the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene now, getting to and from the trail posed a major problem. We’d read about the Centennial Trail, a paved trail that runs from Coeur d’Alene to Spokane and is about 40 miles long. We reckoned we could do it in two days. I know, I know... 40 miles is an easy day’s ride for seasoned bikers, just not us... yet.
Hi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!
We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.
What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.
Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
