Beautiful scenery today, no rain or thunderstorms and a lot less humid!!! A perfect cycling day. The roads were either very civilised with little traffic or crazy near the Rough River Dam State Park where everyone with a boat and trailer decided to converge. We also had less elevation gain today, making for pleasant cycle […]

Loooong, but fun and varied day. We departed Park City at 06:00 for the 6 hour drive back to where we left off on Thursday and started our ride at 12:30. Thinking we’d “just stop when we were ready “ we had our planned 81 miles for the day PLUS 22 miles we didn’t do
Day 23 – Colorado/Wyoming border to Kremmling, CO – 103 miles Read More »
We started just off the Walcott exit of I-80, rather than ride the shoulder for 22 miles with all the I-80 truck traffic barreling past. Brad and Sue called ahead from a comfy and tasty cafe in Saratoga, so we met them there for a break. We gave the local hot spring a miss because
Sooooo, south central Wyoming – not much to say about today. If you read yesterday’s blog about “dry and bumpy”, we had A LOT more of the same EXCEPT: We’ve never ridden past an oil refinery (Sinclair). Ugh. The shoulders became very poor the last third of the ride, narrow and super busy with trucks.

We are not alone……. Quite a change of scenery as we left the beautiful Teton range and headed to Dubois. We had no idea what to expect. Turns out we got a little bit of everything. The first 20 miles we spent looking sideways or behind us towards the Tetons. Such spectacular scenery. As we

10 miles goofing off ….. Today was a rest day. That means saying goodbye to Bret and Judy, laundry, massages and a great dinner. I went to the National Museum of Wildlife Art. I’ve visited this place every time I’ve been in Jackson and LOVE it. It’s so beautiful architecturally, small enough to visit in
Day 16 – Jackson Hole, WY Read More »
Friends and a beautiful National Park – the BEST way to spend a day! Friends Bret and Judy joined us for their second day of cycling as we visited Yellowstone National Park, a favorite spot for all 4 of us, but more immersive and enjoyable on a bicycle. The weather was AMAZING and conditions were
Day 15 – West Yellowstone, MT to Colter Bay, WY – 94 miles Read More »
Who’s heard of Earthquake Lake? Anyone? Neither had any of us….. if we hadn’t taken this trip none of us would have landed on this absolute gem of a site. It was everybody’s favorite. The lake was formed when a 7.5 magnitude earthquake under the Madison River occurred in August 1959, causing the side of
