Chafe 150 Gran Fondo is one of the events coming back this year, to Sandpoint Idaho, with a full venue.  A favorite for locals and participants as well, this event is not one that you would at the last moment decide to give a try.  A fully sponsored bicycle ride with the furthest distance being part of the Event Name ‘Chafe 150 Gran Fondo’.  

4 other rides available along with the 150 miles.  A newer addition of the 100 mile or Century, 80 – 40 – and 25 miles.  All rides start and finish at City Beach Sandpoint Idaho, with the 80 and 100 mile rides getting a bus ride to Troy Montana, from City Beach, to officially begin their designated rides.  

‘Gran Fondo’ means Great Party and Chafe 150 definitely holds up to the calling.  Check in the day before on the grass at City Beach Sandpoint, in and outside of Trinity’s Restaurant.  Fully supported ride with early morning breakfast before ride, staffed break stops along all rides, mechanics and safety vehicles watching over riders, and of course the real party starts when you finish the ride, no matter the distance.  

For complete information and details on the ride click here!

Sandpoint Realty ‘Wednesday Word’ Episode 3 shows the possibility of a hidden problem.  It in fact is hiding under one of the things we enjoy looking at during the Northern Idaho winter months. 

Ice Dams form at the edges of rooflines where the warmer temps from the house, and the freezing temperatures from outside meet.  Icicles form.  We enjoy looking at the beauty of the icicles glimmering and shining and are not aware of what is happening hidden behind all that beauty. 

Simply put water is backing up behind those ice dams and being forced the opposite direction it is meant to flow.  Crawling under composite roofing, metal roofing, seams.  From there it can work it’s way to many different places, none of which are meant to see water. 

Watch the short YouTube Video.  You will be surprised at the amount of water behind even a small ice dam.

North Idaho is definitely a ‘four season’ area.  New comers purchasing Northern Idaho Homes are not always properly prepared for the harsh winters that can be found up here.  Having the correct tool / equipment for any job is no less important than having a full time Professional Realtor guide and counsel you with your Real Estate needs.

Ice Scrappers are a must for the winter months.  And while a must it seems, in my opinion, that one needs fight with the ice scrapper to get a full reach across the windshield, or torque it and your body if any amount of snow has fallen.  Done this for years with all different kinds of Ice Scrappers.  

By accident I found this one in Home Depot the other day.  This has a great extension that reaches AT LEAST half way across even the tallest of vehicles.  Adjustable head for pulling snow, rather than fighting it sideways.  And a triangular shape for better reinforcement.  

As a leg up to those new to the North Idaho area, make sure you have an ice scrapper.  While I have nothing to do with this make or brand I would suggest watching the short video to check it out.
