Dubois --> Moran Junction (7/5/10)

Attempting to get an early start in the morning, Nick, Robin, Zack and I headed over for a cup of coffee, which was delightful.  After finishing the coffee, Nick got a flat, so our early start was slowed a bit.  Finally getting on the road we headed towards the big climb of the day, Togwotee pass.  The road heading up was tight with a poor shoulder and even worse tarmac.  Finally getting to the top, which was also the Continental Divide, we took a photo and played a bit with a snowball.

Heading down the hill was worse than heading up, they were in the middle of repaving the road and had 3.4 miles of the road torn up with a gravel surface to ride on.  This made for slow and dusty riding.  After finally getting down to the real pavement we could actually get some speed.  After getting to the bottom, we could now see the Teton Mountain range.  We were also ready to be off the bikes and enjoying the views.
We finally pulled into a small resort and got a hostel room.  Taking a soak in the hot tub was just what the doctor ordered!
