Twin Pines Cabins, Dubois, WY
Miles: 65 MPH: 12 Max: 31 Total: 1123
Absolutely glorious day! As typical, we were freezing when we started pedaling just before 7am. Quickly the sun warmed us and it turned into a beautiful biking day. The sky was that perfect robin egg blue color with barely a cloud. We had a 20 mile climb up to Togwotee Pass. About 1/2 way, we saw signs regarding road construction, warning motorcyclists of rough conditions, and then warning of unpaved roads.........When we reached the construction crew we were told that they would send a truck to take us through the work zone. We loaded our bikes and ourselves on the back of a truck and took a very rough ride about 3 miles. The road was totally demolished and lots of heavy equipment was moving huge amounts of dirt!! Best part -- the 3 miles ride was was along a steep uphill!! Actually the climb to 9,658 feet didn't seem to bad!! I'd like to think we're getting stronger. I know it had a lot to do with John still carrying our gear!!  |
| Winding roads and beautiful landscape all day! |
The second 1/2 of the ride was downhill and the scenery spectacular. The mountains became more rugged and rough with a distinctive western feel. As we got closer to Dubois the mountains again changed, looking painted with pink, red, and orange stripes.
