Sun Sep 7th, Dubois, WY -> Grand Teton National Park, WY (50 mi)

Off to a late start to maximize our stay in the hotel but covered 20 miles and 1000 feet of climbing in about 1.5 hours, so we stopped for lunch. At lunch we saw a east bounder zip by, then Adrian, a west bound brit on a recumbent passed heading west. At the same time, Daniel and Ben pulled up. They are riding the Great Divide Trail from Canada to Mexico. We had a beer with them at lunch then continued on our climb. The peak promised us 17 miles of a 6% grade downhill but between the construction and the occasional hill, it didn't pass as fast as hoped. We met Adrian at the campsite at the end and built a fire and had some beers. Beautiful sunset.
