With a few free days in the middle of September, we decided on a short road trip over towards Grand Forks to explore the Grandby Valley, do some biking and head down to Spokane, all before Catherine's 10 km race in Creston.We spent a night north of Grand Forks along the Grandby River. Quite pretty up there, but it was perhaps one of the noisiest nights we've spent in quite awhile. Although we were near the river, along a seemingly quiet logging road, the logging trucks started grinding past at 2:30 am and they never really stopped.
The next day we drove up to Eholt Summit and headed downhill on the Columbia and Western Rail Trail towards Grand Forks. Catherine and I rode together for about half the trip, until we'd passed through the two tunnels, when I turned back to go fetch the van while Catherine carried on to the end. I'd already done the first part of the trail from Grand Forks a few months ago.
All together, it took about 2.5 hours from Eholt Summit to Grand Forks. A nice bike ride.
With that, we headed south into the American Republic to camp, bike and shop....
