Over the Teton Pass and a day off

Great day but very strenuous.  After a 50 mile ride thru potato and wheat fields with the Teton mountains looming ever closer,we started the climb to Teton Pass.  The 9 mile climb was punctuated with 10 % grades but I made it.

Now we are on the outskirts of Jackson,WY.  Staying at the Teton Science Center and a 

day off to rest and do laundry. 

Some pictures from the day.

Fields of wheat and pototos with our mountain pass in the distance.

About a third of the way up the mountain.

climbing and climbing and.....

Made it to the top. 8,471 ft and a spectacular view.  And a 5 mile downhill with speeds In the low 40s. Again I wimped out could have been well into the mid fifties.
