Hello... I actually live in Andover, but worked at Sunday River this winter.( I read earlier posts where you mentioned that you ski as well) It sounds as though you had some great climbs last year...especially on a cross bikeIf you do end up in the area, definitely give me a call.. 392-3732. It would be great to meet some fellow cyclists!
As for the Loon echo ride, "no" I probably won't be doing it. I'm definitely interested in hearing more about Mt Washington though!! I signed up last year(first time) and became sick enough to be in the hospital, so needless to say I wasn't able to do it. I am definitely interested in doing some hill climbs though... unfortunately crank the Kanc is full.. are you doing that as well?
