For our 14 year anniversary we headed up to Targhee to ride up Peaked. It's the biggest climb at Targhee and it's always been on my bucket list. Hands down there is no one I would have rather done it with. Phil was so patient with me and was happy to take a slow pace on the way up. It actually didn't seem to be as miserable or long as I thought it would be, but we didn't push it or try to go fast. The views at the top were insane and so beautiful! We road down 38 special (named because of the 38 switchbacks you have to traverse around) and I definitely got up close and personal with that trail. It must have been switchbacks 3 and 4 that took me down, they are soooo steep! But after that, the ride down was pretty fun and a loooooong chunk of downhill. Phil had a nice break at the bottom since he SMOKES me on the downhill. =) Then we climbed up Rock Mountain Way, which was brutal to get those climbing legs back! I can't remember exactly, but we ended up riding 14 miles which was appropriate because it matched the years we were celebrating. And we climbed 2,000 feeling in elevation (or something close to that) which also represented all the crap we've dealt with in those 14 years. Ha! Later in the day we finished up the celebrating and went out to dinner at Citizen33 which was super yummy!
