Last night one of our riders (Mike White from Davenport Iowa) was taken to the hospital in Idaho Falls by an ambulance and later had heart surgery (quadruple bypass). He came through surgery OK, and his wife was on her way to Idaho Falls this morning. That is the third Mike to be injured on this trip. Today was supposed to be the "Signature Ride" of our trip, we would cross into Wyoming and over the Teton Pass (8431 ft) on our way to Jackson. 90 miles with 5000+ feet of climbing. We kept Mike in our thoughts and prayers as we rode up and over the mountain. I made it to the top and road every inch of the way. While descending down into Jackson, another of our riders, Thomas crashed, and broke his pelvis and sacrum. We all need to be more careful as we continue our ride. I promise I will. Tonights dinner was at Bubba's Barbecue in Jackson, the beef brisket was great and I finished it off with Pecan Pie w/Vanilla Ice Cream. We had a serious safety discussion at our map meeting tonight.
