Day 20 Flagg Ranch to Togwotee Pass

So we rode about 50 miles today, thinking that it may be a relatively easy day after yesterdays 83 miles, well it was for the most part before that last 10-13 miles of constant elevation gain that we experienced.  After leaving Flagg Ranch we stopped along the way to take pics of the Tetons.  Lucky for us there were not many RVs on the road so it was smooth sailing through RV alley between Yellowstone and the Tetons.  We stopped in Colter Bay for some lunch and groceries then headed to the Buffalo Road Cafe for some pie ala mode, yummy.  We arrived at the Togwotee Resort, where a guy, Pete, we had met earlier in the trip who is also riding the divide, offered for us to stay in his hotel room to be able to get showers and clean up a bit.  We did some laundry in the shower and hope to get to bed soon.  Well we are up to about 1,038 miles, so we have about 1,716 miles to go.  We think we are going to slow this down a bit, in terms of miles/day, then again we are tired right now and even 20 miles seems too far to go tomorrow.  We continue to gauge it as we go, with no real set plan for each day, at least not for the most part.  Thanks for the continued donations, hope you are all enjoying the blog!
