Day 22
June 23rd, 2007

To start off the day we loaded our bikes back on the vans to get back to the intersection in the Tetons. Then after about 5 miles of cycling we had to be racked once again for road construction. At that point in our ride we met a group of older cyclist who were out riding the same route we were. The ride at that point turned into a continual climb for the next 18 miles with an average 7% grade. After all this climbing we reached our final crossing of the continental divide at 9658 feet above sea level (Seattle). After the divide we had a down hill for a few mile to lunch but unfortunately we had to rack once again for construction. After we got back on our bikes we had an amazing tail wind and a smooth road that carried us at an average speed of around 37 mph. Before we knew it we were in Dubois. We had to slow down when we got into town because the speed limit was only 30 mph through town. After a much needed nap we were treated to a great dinner by the Wyoming Cattle Women's Association. The women were really nice and very interesting to talk to. We asked a lot of questions about raising cattle. The women also talked about a potential sponsorship for next year from Beef Check National.
