72.5 miles - that feels like a short ride these days
2350 feet of elevation gain
Today was much like a few days ago when it was all uphill, but most the time just slightly uphill. And like a few days ago we powered through. It was nice to leave the city behind again and head out to where there is traffic, but not congestion. We started today with 18 miles on a BIKE PATH, which was a first for this trip and absolutely fabulous. I love not needing to think or worry about the cars passing me by. Most of the rest of the time we were on a wide shoulder on Highway 93, a little gravely but wide enough to make up for that. We're back in the country (SW Montanan forests are pretty sparse) and tomorrow we will finally tackle the Rockies. I feel ready. 72 miles today was easier than 40 miles 3 weeks ago.

I don't think Cody is a good idea. You guys will end up past Dillon one day ahead of us, and then we will catch you on the road the next day. When are you thinking you will hit Yellow Stone What are your tentative stops? It looks like 190 miles from Jackson to West Yellowstone, are you doing that in two days?
