Day 44: Rigby, ID

Houston, this is duck, over. Have made it across the border into the home state of idaho. As per usual, the day had its ups and downs. rolling over teton pass yesterday marked the last major ascent of the trip and she certainly showed some teeth. While hoosier pass might have been the tallest, teton was definately the steepest. With that behind me, i quickly rolled on down to the state line stopping for a minute to dance a little jig at the border while enjoying the spectacular scenery. The winds picked up as the afternoon wore on but did manage to roll into rigby, where my dear cousin patty lives, at around dusk.

Stand by for yesterday's hard count:
mileage: 86
saddle time: 7:32
feet in elevation ascended: oh too many
relatives visited: 4
jack-asses on eastern idaho roadways: many...more than most places across the country

Looking forward to doing more damage today, so better get scootin before the winds whip back up and the thermometer starts shooting north. Wounded duck out, over.
