2015.09.02 Final --On Lander Cutoff Road

Vance here.   John put in his longest day by far today, starting at 6:07 AM and quitting at 8:21PM along the Lander Cutoff Road (42.53267 , -109.20427).  It looks like it was a challenging day too.  The Google Map elevation profile is shown below.

Ugh..  3248 feet up and 2362 feet down with a net distance of 57.5 miles. 

I suspect John wanted to get within reasonable riding distance of Pinedale, the next real town on his itinerary.   With today's marathon ride he's now within 50 miles of the town with a mostly downhill ride.  He should make it there Thursday evening.
