Day 25 – Wow!

By Mark Heggestad
Today I did not want our bike ride to end.  We rode 52 miles from Grant Village, WY to Moran, WY, which is just northeast of Jackson Hole.  Said another way: we biked 20 miles in Yellowstone National Park followed by 32 miles in Grand Teton National Park.  Riding along the mountain range of The Grand Tetons is by far the most majestic scenery thus far and I would be surprised if we see anything better.  If you have not seen The Grand Tetons put it on your to-do list.  Seriously – go experience them.  This summer if possible.

The temps were in the 30’s and 40’s today so a bit brisk.  But I will take cold over wind or rain any day.  We are able to dress for the cold so we are very comfortable.

We finished a little early today, providing time for a few other great experiences.  We are in an area that is sparsely populated and restaurants are few and far between.  But we stumbled onto a resort called The Signal Mountain Lodge, which has a couple restaurants.  We had great food and great service, but the view from our table was stunning.  A completely unobstructed view of Jackson Lake with the Tetons behind it.  When you go to the Tetons eat at one of the restaurants at Signal Mountain Lodge (ask for a table with a view).  You will not be disappointed.  On the way back from dinner we took a scenic route and spotted a couple herds of bison and countless elk.  For miles and miles we just kept seeing them.  To cap the day off, despite a relatively cloudy night we were able to watch the sun set behind the Tetons.

Today I was once again blessed beyond measure.

    Awesome! Your pictures made me pull up our Montana, Wyoming Harley trip -- the Tetons are really beautiful. Much easier on the back of a Harley though! :) Thanks for at least 3 shots!! If I'm looking at the route correctly, it looks like you'll be following another river today -- hope it's as pretty. Be safe.

    Going to the Grand Tetons is definitely on our to-do list! Dustin and Maddy went hiking there last summer and absolutely loved it. I would love to experience that view in person!

Day 70 – Reflections

The well-aged guy spotted my bike and glanced at me.   I know, most consider me old, but this guy was older.   I could tell by his quick smile and the way it spread across the lines of his face and through his eyes that he was an old soul making the most of life.   “What will you gain from this journey?” he asked.   He used the word journey, not me.   I had been asked a lot of questions since this bike trip started, but not this one.   “That’s a good question.” I responded, and then I stumbled through an answer I don’t remember.   But I do remember the question.   In fact, I thought about the question often the rest of the journey. This journey taught me a lot about myself.   I learned I have the fortitude to complete a 4,064-mile bike trip.   It reinforced the value of perseverance.   I learned I have very little control over a lot of things that impact me; and I learned to expect, and embrace, whatever surprises the day may bring.   It taught me the importance of taking things o

Day 63 – One Last Dog Story

Today’s bike ride was 80.3 miles from Wytheville, VA to Catawba, VA.   It was another great day.   Scenery was beautiful, but cannot compare to the Appalachian’s of the past couple days.   Weather was good.   Road conditions and traffic were good.   I biked through a couple small cities (Radford and Christiansburg), so that slows me down a little.   There were hills, but a gentler kind: shorter and not as steep as previous days.   With that said, I did climb enough hills today to accumulate 5,213 feet of ascent.   That marks the eighth day in a row I have climbed more than 5,000 feet, or a mile straight up. It was just a really nice peaceful ride today.   I love the gentle (gentler, ok, not quite as hard) hills, and the scenery.   It was about as stress-free as it gets. It has been bothering me that I spent so much time in my previous blog posts complaining about the dogs of eastern Kentucky.   I love dogs; in fact I have been missing our black lab (Tess) while on this long jo

Day 68 – Blessed Beyond Measure – No Doubt About It

By Mark Heggestad

I awoke this morning excited to bike the last thirty miles of this journey.   I took my time with everything: a little longer than usual getting ready, a little longer than usual eating breakfast, a little longer than usual prepping my bike.   In retrospect I suppose I was just savoring the moment.   The first seven miles of today’s ride were on a beautiful designated bike trail.   I took it slow and easy.   All was perfect. Then my perfect world turned imperfect.   The majority of the last thirteen miles of the ride is on Colonial Parkway.   Sounds like a peaceful road, doesn’t it?   It was one of the bumpier roads of the trip and it was the busiest two-lane no-shoulder road I have been on in weeks.   Cars were zooming by fast and constant.   All focus went from savoring the moment to dealing with traffic.   And then it started raining – not a hard rain but enough to get me wet.   I increased my speed in hopes of beating any potential hard rain.    I started bumming about the sit
