Jackson Hole, WY

Yesterday we had an nice 80 mile ride to Jackson Hole, WY.  We made it in just over 4 hours with a great tail wind pushing us along.  That afternoon we took the tram up to the top of the Tetons.  We were unable to go to lodging before taking the tram so when we got up to 11,000 feet in just spandex it was really cold.  It was a blast looking over Jackson Hole from the top of the Tetons and a group of us made a snowman at the top.  That night we had some great pizza from a local Italian restaurant and a team meeting to end the night.

We had a 6:30 AM wake-up this morning to make it to our sponsored buffet breakfast and it was worth waking up for.  We then headed over to Mad River Rafting to raft down the snake river.  We were on the river for about an hour and a half and had a great time going though the rapids.  We all jumped out at the calm spots of the river into the 40 degree water which was an easy way to wake up in the morning.  That afternoon we went to the Snow King Resort to enjoy the pool, hot tub, and alpine slide.  You take a ski lift up to the top of the alpine slide and it is like being on a cement luge.  Tonight, we are taking it easy as in the next 5 days of biking we go 535 miles!

  1. WoW! Not a lot of time to take a rest. Looks like everyone is really having a great time. Sounds like the weather is also starting to cooperate.
