Re: Grand Rail Trail of North Idaho

I bet yall don't even have to tell each other which way you're going to turn. :wink:

Correct, we are currently part of an ESP study.

wheres the pics of the drops off the trestle ? :mrgreen:

Umm...... I am sure I can find one because I know we did it.

how does the bike handle with the extracyle?
is its harder on climbs due to the long wheelbase?

Climbs are easier as the weight is more centered between the two wheels. On steep climbs, the front wheel does not even lift off the ground. Handling over all is fine. If felt much better than my brother's bike with a loaded front wheel.

Good photos and write up. You don't by chance have your route drawn out on a map? Would be interesting to see.

Randy,

This is roughly the map. All the info came from Friends of the CdA Trail. We did not go all the way into Plummer on the western side.

Thanks, Just get out and do it. I had no idea that I could ride that far.

Great scenery, Denmark is flat, without any mountains at all. So seeing your pictures it strikes me how beutiful it must be to ride in mountains and canyons.
