Actually, I was heading to Coeur d'Alene but as I got into Idaho the winds got really obnoxious. I was riding only partially loaded but with all my strength I could still only manage about 7 or 8 miles per hour. It seemed a little pointless after a while. So I turned around.

Of course, the way back to Spokane was, quite literally, a breeze!

Rode about 65 miles.
