DAY 14 (Monday July 2) Jackson, WY to Dubois, WY: 91 miles, 17.1 mph avg speed. One of the most beautiful rides. We rode through Teton Park for about the first half of the ride, on a bike path. It was a steady slow elevation gain all day, with a good climb around mile 54, for about 8 miles to the summit. First we had to navigate a construction site where we were shuttled on the back of a pick up truck for 3.5 miles. After the climb, the landscape changed quite a bit, as we entered a desert with great views of red mountains. We ran into head winds for the last several miles and I had a flat tire with a mile to go before reaching camp. Pictures: (1) We summited the Tetons twice on Saturday, now we are in Teton Park, (2) Tim, Erin, Theo, (3,4) on the bike path, (5) Erin, Scott, Tim, (6,7) exited the park, Tetons behind us, (8,9) Tim and I shuttled through the construction, (10,11,12) views, (13) view - Dennis
