Popular Post Gump Posted July 27, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Started at 6am this morning. After a relatively flat start we headed up of Bear Notch. Not a terribly hard or long climb but enough to know you climbed. That was followed by an awesome decent back to the valley. Then began the long climb up through Crawford Notch. The last mile or so was 13%. We drove down it yesterday and it really looked hard. Actually it wasn’t nearly as bad as expected. Once over the top we had about 30 miles of rolling terrain. This is when it really started getting warm, 85 or so. Then we made the 11 mile climb through Pinkham Notch. Long but not real steep. That was followed by another fun descent. Once back in the valley we. Had about 12 miles to finish. Most of it was flat until at miles 107.8 you turn on the road to the finish. They said it averages 13% but it’s a couple real steep pitches and a few lesser ones. Tough ending to a long, hot ride. Pretty proud of WoZack she did 108.8 miles, 6200+ feet of climbing and averaged 14 mph.Good bbq chicken afterwards?

Honestly, if you trained for it I bet you could. Trust me, I saw kids and octogenarians ride up that hill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left me no gas for the mower so I had to go back into town to get that. Then the battery was dead on the mower. He must have left the lights on or something. So I had to jump that but to do that I had to push the mower quite a ways to get close enough... Then the mower wouldn't start. I took the plugs out and they were corroded. Sooooo, another trip back into town to get him new spark plugs for his mower. I finally get the thing started and one of the blades fell off - does he ever maintain that thing? I had to find a couple of blocks to get the tractor and deck up to put the blade back on but first had to find a 15/16' wrench. I don't normally carry mine with me. So back into town to buy a wrench. I got the blade on and then smashed my fingers getting the blocks out from under the deck. There was quite a bit of blood so I figured I better get to the care center - back into town... By the time I got out of the care center it was dark. I'll be back next weekend to finish up where I left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
