. . Because the last day was requiring a nearly 6000 feet of climbing and 71 mile of pedaling, I have broken it up into two days. On the first day of the split we will ride from Ashton to Driggs and spend the night. Finding a reasonably price motel in this area was not easy, but I found a Super 8. Then we ride OVER THE MOUNTAIN (not kidding) to nearly 9000 feet to Jackson.
. . If your schedule does not permit the extra day, one of the SAG vehicles will take you down the mountain to Jackson which only a half-hour away from Driggs.
. . We also have the option of ending the ride in Driggs, avoiding the BIG climb, and ferrying everyone to Jackson. THINK ABOUT IT and let's decide in the next couple of days.
. . The other thing I was also finding was everything being sold out. Once everyone is comfortable with the new plan, we should probably book rooms. Warning: some of the suggested stays have cancellation fees. Sorry, I appears to be a "seller's market." So we all need to be sure of the plan/commitment before booking.
. . We have one other couple (Ben and Anne Cowan) considering on joining us. We'll know by Jan 16'th. We should probably make that our reservation booking day.
Tom, I agree that it is a good idea to split the last days into more manageable rides/climbs. Your comment is good about using the SAG support to provide rides back if some persons need to get back more quickly. The motel is good. Thanks,
