We are heading down to Targhee tonight...The Pierre's Hole 50/100 is tomorrow and I could not resist signing up for the 50. It looks like a tough course with about 4,500 ft of elevation gain over each 25 mile lap. The 50 milers will do 2 laps for a total elevation gain of around 9,000ft and the hundies will be doing 4....The singlespeed bike is all clean and ready to dish out some pain (to me) tomorrow. I anticipate some hike a bike sections on the singlespeed as I head there are some steep, punchy climbs...come on legs!
It will be interesting to see how the legs react after not doing anything too hard core since the Puff...If nothing else, it will be great to ride in a new area. The race will be in Alta, Wy, on the east side of the Tetons so the scenery and surrounding areas should be really fun to explore.
Next week is a vacation week and we are planning on staying in the area to do more riding and get some climbing in too. I am curious to see what the area has to offer and it will really good to get unplugged from work for a week. Our prior road trips have always been shackled by taking along my work computer and trying to work while squeezing in some fun when possible. This will be a true vacation for me!
If the Teton Valley area does not offer enough to do, we will have plenty of options close by to explore!
