Enaville and the New Rack

One of our favorite bike rides is located on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's starting at Enaville along the Coeur d'Alene River. The starting point is 40 miles from our doorstep making it a quick easy getaway. Our goal for this trip was to give our new Kuat bicycle rack a test with our two e-Bikes. The rack worked great and the ride was wonderful. 

We packed a lunch and left the house by 9 am. When we arrived at the trailhead, there were only two other cars parked there. This trailhead is super popular and it is unusual for so few parking spots to be taken. 

Our ride took us a total of 24 miles. We passed several riders and walkers, but there were no real crowds. At the 12 mile mark, the Cedar Grover picnic benches, we turned around and headed back to the car. As we rode I spotted a brown spot that looked like it had ears. There about fifty yards off the trail was a young moose feeding on tree limbs along the river. We watched for several minutes and took some photos.

The ride back was fast and fun. Our biking strategy is to ride fast when no one is around, but we slow way down when others are present. On our return ride, there were no other people on the trail. 

I recorded the ride on an app called Relive. You can view it by following the link below.
