Day 13, Wednesday, 5 June, Victor to Jackson

Today was short, hard, and glorious. We started by riding with Rosé from her house to downtown Victor for breakfast at Scratch. Along the way we stopped at a bike shop / coffee shop for coffee and have a mechanic adjust Louis's disk brake. After Rose left Louis and i started to climb Teton Pass, an uphill journey of about 13 miles. the ride was beautiful but hard. Reaching the top brought a giddy combination of relief, accomplishment, and delight. The view from the top was spectacular. 

Here are the statistics for the day. We rode 41.64 miles, about 10 of which were in town, @ 10.4 mph. I reached a maximum speed of 47.8 mph. Our maximum elevation was 8431 feet.

We enjoyed our evening. We went to a "gunfight",  Snake River Brewpub, a Thai restaurant, and a rodeo.

Here is a map of our general route: http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/247545761. It shows that our starting, stopping, and maximum elevations were 6,139 ft., 6,157 ft., 8,442 ft. We climbed 2,260 vertical ft. and had 1 class-2 climb. I do not want to see an HC climb.
