Square Wheels Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 1, 2014 THis isn't the race up Mt Washington, this is for the century that goes around it. Still has 6 or so thousand feet of climbing, just not all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted February 3, 2014 That is an impressive amount of climbing for a century I've vacationed in NH most of my life, so it was very special to me to have this be my first century. I had a really hard time with the hills. There were three that were hard and I stopped on. I didn't walk up any of them, but I did stop. It was really hard to get started again. One goal I have for this year is to not stop on the hills. I will lose weight and train for this. Another goal is to only stop at three of the stops. This was very well supported, they had five stops and I stopped at all of them. There are three well placed stops, I only want to use those. The last goal is to reduce my time by at least 30 minutes. My moving time last year was 6:56. Here's my ride. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/345587060 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted February 3, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 3, 2014 Good luck on your goal, SW My moving time for the ride below was 7:28. We did have a headwind to fight thru for about 30 miles, from about mile 60 to 90 http://www.strava.com/activities/92856127 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 3, 2014 Wow. You had almost 7000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted February 3, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2014 Wow. You had almost 7000 feet. it was the toughest century I ever rode. The steepest section was 10 miles between sag stop 2 and 3. Having 2 sags so close together should have been an alert. From about mile 70 to 90 was a long climb, the steepest section being the last few miles.
