I decided I was going to make up for my day of and go 80 miles from Dubois to Pindale, WY. The first 30 miles took a long time because I was climbing most of the time. I reached my highest elevation yet of 9,700 feet. I finally got through the mountains and stopped at a little cafe for supper. After I got done there I continued on to Pinedale. The last 30 miles wizzed by. It was mostly pavement, downhill, and I had a little tailwind. The first 30 miles too me 5 hours and the last 30 took me less than 2. I got some good views going up the mountain, but it was pretty slow going. Sorry that I can't update my blog everyday. I just don't have the internet access. I finally got it at the Pinedale Public Library. As a bonus I got to see a grown man sporting a rat tail.
Rat tail = total bonus! That top picture is so stunning.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could give yourself points for things like seeing grown men rat tails. And seeing road kill or cool animals. And weather phenomena. And seeing funny signs. And scoring free meals/showers/places to stay. You'll be so rich in points!
But maybe that sort of thing is better kept for trips when you aren't working your ass off to bike up and down mountains though, huh?
Okay, so I've been making comments on your blog, like maybe 6 comments. But none of them have showed up because I just typed in the comment and then hit submit, then quickly closed out of the window, and I never realized that the site requires you to type in a word you see in a box, before it will publish the comment. There were a lot of good comments lost to cyberspace. Sorry lars

good entries, though
ReplyDeleteLars, what a sweet pic of you riding into the distance. I wish I had a tripod that cool to take a picture like that....
ReplyDeleteLuke--I only wish we could know what cyberspace knows.
Hey Lars! Sonja told me about your blog. The pictures are great. What an amazing trek!
