Dedicated In Honor To:
Dean Satchwell

This year we are honoring Dean Satchwell, the "Father" of our Kootenai River Ride.

Dean was an avid biker and brought to our attention that there was great potential in our beautiful countryside for a spectacular organized ride. That was 10 years ago and many riders have been glad Dean expressed this to us.

Dean spent his career in law enforcement in both Idaho and Washington.

Although Dean is battling medical issues, he is still always good for a wave and a smile. We will be forever grateful that he brought the Kootenai River Ride to our community.

Enjoy the fall scenery as you pedal your way along the great Kootenai River and travel to the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge. This is a paved route full of spectacular scenery with the potential to view wildlife, waterfowl, and Myrtle Creek Water Fall (10-minute walk).
