Day 31: 88 miles, Jun 18

I rode some big miles today since I wanted to keep up with this cool couple from Honolulu, Kristen and Michael. They're going faster than I am -- trying to finish by the end of July. It was very good to have cycling people to talk to again! Thanks guys! We met at Lewis Lake this morning when Michael asked to borrow a tool I never thought I'd need to use but brought anyway, the hypercracker. It allows you to replace a spoke on the rear wheel, one of which, unfortunately, he had broken. I was glad to help out and learn in the process -- I've never replaced a spoke before! That's the Teton Range and Jackson Lake behind them -- one of those views that just doesn't look real.
