The Teton Climb That Broke Me (Double Quad Cramps at Grand Targhee)

I rode 50 miles and 2,274ft of climbing through Teton Valley, Idaho, on the quiet side of the Tetons, topping out at 8,000ft at Grand Targhee Resort. Then my legs gave out. Both quads cramped hard, I bonked, and I had to bail 2 miles early and get picked up by my boyfriend. This video shows the whole ride: the views, the climb, and exactly where it fell apart. If you’ve ever bonked on a ride, tell me in the comments where it happened and what you’d do differently. If you’ve ridden Grand Targhee or want to, ask me anything about the route.
