Tetons!!!!

One of the most epic days of my life. It was really amazing. I woke up crazy pumped (probably a defense mechanism to block out extreme fear of climbing to a 9000 ft. elevation). I rode sweep with spency and Olivia. We started the day with the climb up Teton pass, which has parts as steep as 12% grade. It was really incredible. We were on a bike path, which had lots of switchbacks and the most amazing views (see facebook soon). We took it really slowly with the last group back, yelling the whole way. Since sweep rides in the back, we got up to the summit last. And EVERYONE waited for us at the top! When we rode in, everyone popped out from bushes yelling/singing. Some peole ran up the last part with us. It was so sweet that everyone was out there supporting everyone else. We took a million pictures and had a huge dance party. I can't even really describe how amazing it felt to reach the top if the mountain and celebrate with everyone. The 10% grade downhill was fun too. The rest of the ride was pretty chill. We got ice cream and hammered a lot of it. Definitely the most amazing ride day so far.

Better photos will definitely be on fb soon...
