Tour Bus
Sports and Leisure Travel out of Sacramento, California is returning for their 3rd tour of the International Selkirk Loop. The group of travelers will fly into Spokane on September 8th where they will board their tour bus bound for The Loop. The group will spend 6 nights in the area and tour the main loop and several of our super side trips museums, historical sites, artisans and wildlife management areas before returning to Spokane and their flight back home. We are pleased to welcome them back.

The ride is put on by six different Rotary Clubs from communities of the Selkirk Loop. These clubs provide SAG support for the riders, hauling their luggage with pickup and delivery to their lodging of choice, border crossing assistance, providing water and snacks, repairing flat tires and will even pick up a rider when they need a lift. In addition, administrative support is provided by the International Selkirk Loop. The ISL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing international recognition to the area to enhance the economies of the communities along this route. This successful relationship has brought many cycling enthusiasts to the area over the years.
