But there is more climbing on tap today - we’re about to roll out for Stage 7. An 87 mile route through two mountain passes, including Teton Pass. Can’t wait to roll into Jackson this afternoon. Should be a fun spot to celebrate the end of the first week of LIOTR!
That little bandaid on Drew’s knee is kind of a big deal. He’s had surgery there twice in the past & after our epic Stage 3 he woke up with it swollen and extremely painful. Luckily we were in Boise where his brother is a doctor. He was able to get a Cortisol shot and we’ve since ridden another 250 miles with no issues. Phew!
Stanley’s dad is riding his bike across the US & he would really appreciate it if you helped fight cancer by ordering some @grimpeurbros LIOTR single origin roast to order coffee. The proceeds go to the Colon Cancer Alliance! More info at grimpeurbros.com, order deadline for this week’s roast is 3pm today. (at LIOTR Service Course)
154 miles in 7h 39m. Not too shabby, thanks for the tailwind, Idaho.
With over 35,000 feet of climbing in the first five stages, it is great to have a flat 155 miler with a good strong tailwind. (at Idaho)
We’re getting a bit of a late start for a 154 mile day, but our mobile coffee kit and @grimpeurbros LIOTR single origin will get us going. (at Fairfield, ID)
Stage 5. A series of increasingly poor decisions worked out in our favor and led to one of the best roads we’ve ever ridden. (at Oregon Trail, Boise ID)
Still can’t get over everything we saw. Insane. (at Oregon Trail)
More from Stage 5. These climbs were amazing. 40ish miles of this and then another 50 of rolling hills into Fairfield, ID.
40 miles of gravel on the actual Oregon Trail. Andrew bagged a bear and took home 643 lbs of meat.
