Riding Black's Canyon
We rode up the infamous old Teton pass road yesterday. It is so steep that they retired it for a better and wider road, so now just the locals ride it. Saturday there will be a hill climb race UP Black's, one road race and one mountain bike race. Karen and I might do it, crazy I know.
The ride down rocked. Three guys joined us, and scared us by opending their packs and strapping on body armor before descending. Uh oh, what did we get our selves into...
Pure gold of course. More Wild flower filled meadows and wet sloshy stream crossings, miles of switchbacks and singletrack. Wow.
I have now ridden 8 days in a row on the trip, and then 5 mountain bike days in a row here. maybe I am ready for the hill climb race...
