Kootenai River Ride

Come enjoy the fall scenery as you pedal your way along the magnificent Kootenai River and make your way to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge in the 14th Annual Kootenai River Ride. On the morning of Saturday, September 17 bike enthusiasts of every age will come together at Boundary County Fairgrounds before they head out in an effort to raise funds for the Bonners Ferry Rotary Club.

The route is paved and full of spectacular scenery with numerous opportunities to view wildlife, waterfowl, and if you’re willing to take a 10 minute walk down the trail you can also see the Myrtle Creek Waterfall.

Bikers can choose to participate in a 100K, 60K or 16K with multiple checkpoints where they can choose to increase or shorten their ride. Healthy snacks and beverages will be available at all stops, and at the finish you can enjoy a great potato bake feed!

Each rider is required to wear an ANSI approved bike helmet while riding and are responsible for the mechanical condition of their bicycle. It is advised that each rider carry a spare tube, patch kit and bike pump and bike servicing is available through Far North Outfitters. All riders who have paid in advance will receive a deluxe collector's long sleeve T-shirt with their registration along with the route map and a rider’s bag of gifts. One hundred percent of funds are returned to the community through numerous Rotary projects and scholarships, so dust off your bike and start training for this great community event.
