Yellowstone in 2014

We briefly mentioned the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park tour in the last newsletter.  The trip is now 90% planned and the details can be found on the website we have setup for the tour.  A brief description follows:
. . 400-mile, 9-day bicycle ride through the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks (NP) with an optional 450-mile, 9-day ride on the Trans America Trail from the Grand Tetons to Winter Park in Colorado. We'll be staying in cabins in the parks and motels otherwise.
. . We'll be driving to/from H'ville with bikes and equipment and picking up others wishing to fly into Jackson Hole. Transportation from Colorado is still TBD.
. . The tour of the NPs is in the second week of September and the TransAm tour will leave from the end of the NP tour.
If you are interested, please send me an email at tnbiketom@gmail.com and I will send you an invite to view this private website.  Unfortunately, lodging in the National Parks sell-out almost a year in advance, so we must semi-commit before November 1'st if we wish to procure our preferences. There is a 48-hour cancellation, so if you later decide you can't do the trip, nothing is lost. Because we have put together a small private tour, the Park Service allows us into the parks themselves.
