Funday in Sandpoint
Cyndy fixes us a hearty breakfast of pancakes with blueberries, yogurt and other good stuff this morning. Hanging out here is a lesson in sustainability. There isn't a napkin, paper towel or plastic glass in sight. Everything is reusable. They have a washer but no use for a dryer. I'm picking up all sorts of useful tips, like using empty toilet paper rolls to dry out your socks and gloves.

After breakfast, Cyndy, Barry and I take a short ride to the Farmers' Market. Nice to have an easy pedal just to move the blood around.
At the market I score some carrots, daikon radishes, and morels for dinner. Its amazing that we managed to be here on a Saturday and actually know two of the sellers - our WarmShowers hosts from Clark Fork. By the time I find their booth, Jessica and Chad are busy and running low on product but still have good stuff small enough to travel - a hunk of Focaccia, oatmeal cookies and one if Jess's rhubarb hand pies.

The market is the social event of the week. There's live music, clowns and kids hula hooping by the fountain.
A sample of the entertainment...

After all the shopping we grab lunch at the brewery and head back to the house to clean up our dirty bikes and defunkify the damp bags.
Cyndy roasts a big juicy chicken to go with the veggies from the market for dinner. She and Rupert are amazing hosts. This is been an awesome layover day. I'd love to come back to Sandpoint someday.
Today's ride: 4 miles (6 km)
Total: 372 miles (599 km)
