Route Maps

ROUTE MAPS & DESCRIPTIONS

For the 150 and 80 mile routes:

There are two short steep climbs on the 150-mile route with grades up to 18% and 8% out of Bonners Ferry, ID and Troy, MT. The 150-mile route is not recommended for inexperienced riders.

 

For the 80-mile option riders and their bikes are bused to Troy after a hearty breakfast at Sandpoint City Beach Park. The route follows the second half of the 150-mile route with a maximum grade of 8%. Both 150- and 80-mile routes take you along the west side of the Clark Fork River and along Lake Pend Oreille on paved back roads to bypass the busy sections of the U.S. Highway 200

 

For the 40 and 25 mile routes:

After a hearty breakfast at City Beach Park, the 40-mile and 25-mile routes are perfect for anyone that wants to enjoy a scenic 2-to-3-hour ride through the beautiful Selle Valley northeast of Sandpoint with incredible views of the surrounding mountains, forests and wide-open spaces.

 

For Gravel the 55 and 75 mile routes:

The 55-mile and 75-mile gravel routes travel along forest service roads of the Cabinet Mountains and the back roads of Selle Valley. Riders will begin with breakfast at City Beach Park. They will then be bused along with their bikes to Clark Fork, Idaho. Riders will climb up Lightning Creek Road before descending on Trestle Creek Road to ride along Lake Pend Oreille to Lower Pack River Road where they will join the CHAFE 40-mile route back to Sandpoint City Beach Park.

NAVIGATION

Get ready to conquer the CHAFE 150 routes with ease! Below are links to download GPX files for each biking route, compatible with your preferred GPS device or app. If you're unsure how to upload a GPX file, fear not! Join us at the Friday check-in event, where a knowledgeable volunteer will be on-site to assist with any technical inquiries. Prepare to ride confidently and experience the stunning scenery of Sandpoint, Idaho! 

WHAT IS A GPX FILE?

A GPX file is a type of electronic file used to share routes for activities like cycling or running. It can be opened in smartphone apps or GPS devices attached to bikes to help users follow a path, showing waypoints or coordinates. While there are other file types like FIT or TCX that track health data, GPX is widely accepted by most cycling and navigation apps. To use a GPX file, you need a smartphone or a GPS device, which can load the file and guide you along the route. Special apps from GPS manufacturers make it easier to manage and use GPX files for navigation, and how it's loaded onto each type of device is a little different. Check with your manufacturer on how best to import the file or ask our volunteer on site for help!

Safety

SAFETY

When preparing for a long bike ride, safety should be your top priority. Always wear a properly fitted helmet to protect your head in case of a fall. Before you head out, ensure your bike is in good condition by checking the brakes, tires, and gears. Dress appropriately in moisture-wicking clothing, padded shorts, and cycling shoes, and don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen for sun protection. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and consider bringing electrolyte drinks for longer rides. Familiarize yourself with the route, including any elevation changes and rest stops.


During the ride, communicate with fellow cyclists using hand signals and maintain a predictable line to ensure everyone’s safety. Obey all traffic rules if the route includes public roads, and carry basic repair tools like a spare tube and tire levers for quick fixes. It’s also a good idea to pack emergency supplies, including a first aid kit and snacks, and consider riding with a buddy for added support. Stay visible with bright clothing and lights, and listen to your body to avoid pushing beyond your limits. By following these safety tips, you can enjoy a successful and rewarding cycling experience.
