Bike Ride Description
Tour through two states and one province on our first annual 340-mile/550-kilometer WaCanId Ride, presented by the International Selkirk Loop and Rotary International! Ride through the scenic passages, alongside the rivers and lakes of the Selkirk Mountain range. Visit beautiful towns full of history and adventure. Relax on this long distance, moderate ride, comfortable with the safety of patrolled roadways, and the ease of transported baggage. Take advantage of the free camping provided, or indulge in the comforts of quality lodging. The International Selkirk Loop is one of the "Top 10 Scenic Destinations in the Northern Rockies" named by the U.S. Department of Transportation, one of five "Best of the Roads" named by Rand McNally 2009, and the "West's Best Scenic Drive" by Sunset Magazine.
Net proceeds from entry fees benefit the participating Rotary Clubs. The clubs are individually responsible for the distribution of those funds. Rotarian projects benefit both local and international communities. Your dollars may be going to help drill water wells in Africa, build a bike trail in your town, sponsor an exchange program or add to a scholarship. Talk to Rotarians you meet along the way and ask them what projects are special to their club! Riders will receive a WaCanId Passport that will give them discounts at participating Selkirk Loop businesses. Although this is a ride, not a race, there will be awards given to individuals or teams who collect the most roadside trash, score the highest in Selkirk Trivia and more.
Riders can begin at any one of eight starting points: Oldtown, Sandpoint, or Bonners Ferry in Idaho; or Creston, Nelson, Fruitvale or Castlegar in British Columbia.
October 1-5, 2009. Weather is usually mild, could be warm in the day, chilly at night, maybe sunny, possible rain! Your luggage will be transported for you, so don%u2019t be afraid to come prepared.
