Rest Day in Jackson

July 3, 2022

Today is our rest day after week two of the coast to coast tour.  We are staying out at the Teton Science School.  It is about 8 miles out of town in a canyon.  It is really quite isolated from the town and all of the tourist craziness of Jackson on the July 4^th weekend.  There isn’t much here the nearest store is 3 miles away at the mouth of the canyon.  However there is a laundry to wash cloths and good internet.  So after an extraordinarily hard week it is good to have a total down day.  The Science Center is in quite a pretty setting and this morning as I was out for a walk I saw a large buck on the hill side. There are a lot wildflowers and butterflies.  

Barry rode down to the store this morning and got a few snacks to keep us alive until super time.  I spent the day doing laundry, washing my bike and editing my pictures. Unfortunately I have fallen behind on the editing photo task and now it is a big job. 

Patrick decided to pull the plug and flew home this morning.  I was quite sad to see him go.  Patrick is a lot of fun to ride with and always has a crazy story to tell.  However I understand if you are not feeling well dragging around the country sleeping in tents is no fun. 

I have added a new link to the blog.  It is to a series of YouTube videos produced by one of our riders.  He has a GoPro camera which he uses to shoot the video.  It is shot in little short segments then spliced together and set to music.  The series of videos is called Riding with Tomim0 Just click on the word “YouTube”   Here is a direct link https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tomim0  Check it out. It is a lot of fun.

Tomorrow is off to Dubois a fun 90 mile ride.
