SEPTEMBER 8, DAY 7

SEPTEMBER 8 : JACKSON HOLE, 50 MILES 

Today was  a rest day, the 2nd and last  of 2 rest days on this tour  (they work us hard) … however still  did ride 50 miles  (because I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't)  around the area but  took it easy and stopped for  pictures and  a casual lunch. The Tetons are spectacular and the town of Jackson Hole is very upscale and anything but a "hole"!  It's clearly a place of significant wealth, beautiful homes  and a hosts a major extreme ski area in the winter. 

"Hi and  Hello!" from me to everyone reading  this blog…

Also, here is  a bit of spill over from yesterdays effort… this is a video of the 16 mile  decent of the Grand Tetons. This is my roommate Scott Pretti. He hit 60 mph and I hit 52!

Tomorrow we will leave Montana and enter our 3rd state, Idaho. I've heard the "real fun"  begins in a couple of days with tougher climbs yet….bring it! 

NEVER LIMIT YOUR CHALLENGES! CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS!!
