Teton Pass on an old hardtail - I have a similar memory on my first "mountain" bike (rigid single speed with canti brakes) going down Black Canyon then pedaling back up to hit Phillip's Canyon. One of my all time favorite rides; the dirt was perfect, everything was green and lush, only a handful of other riders all with smiles on their faces. After cycling through several much nicer full sus bikes in the years since, that ride is still one of my most joyful memories on a bike I'll have.
