| I got roped into camping for a few days at Silverwood Theme Park near Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. Theme parks are not my thing, I mean really not my thing, so I took a bike along and instead of thrill rides, I spent time scouting out an interesting loop. This is it - I thought it was a stunningly beautiful ride. One important caveat: there is a 7 mile stretch of this route that is UNPAVED! I found it tolerable on my road bike - read more about it in the Cue Sheet for this ride. I think there are some modifications that could make the route longer, but that would put it completely on paved roads. I didn't get a chance to completely check these out, but of particular interest might be Spirit Lake Cut-Off Road in putting together a route that avoids the long unpaved segment. This loop ride starts and ends at the Silverwood theme park at the corner of US-95 and Brunner Road and passes through Athol, Clagstone, Priest River, Blanchard, and Spirit Lake. |
