June 23rd, day 22, hot and steep but fast.

Today out of Jackson we woke up at 6:30, we got to sleep in an hour because we found out that we couldn't get into the school until 2 pm. the day started off steep with a 17 mile climb up a 6% grade.

on the other side of the hill, i got was able to hit 50.1 mph my personal fastest for the trip. after only 4 miles downhill we had to rack the bike because of construction. when we all unloaded the vans and got going we noticed and extreme tail wind, which was nice because of our climb earlier in the morning. we ended up completing the last 20 miles in 45 min. averaging about 37 mph on flat ground the whole way. we were able to break the 30 mph speed limit in Dubois and ended up missing our left turn to the school because we were going so fast, it was nice. after we showered and shaved some of us went and bought postcards and milkshakes at the malt shop then went back to take a nap so we could be up and hungry when the Wyoming cattle womens assoc. came to cook us a large home cooked beef dinner. after dinner we were all so tired from our 104 degree day we passed out, looking forward to going to the Shoshone hot springs tomorrow.
