Yes, There Are Mountains in New England...

Bummer, my sister (the one with tongue cancer) is planning a gathering at her house on the 7th.

Our tandem won't be done until the end of the summer. Our current one is just too uncomfortable now. Funny how once you know what a bike is supposed to fit like, you won't tolerate being uncomfortable.

Anyway, I'm hoping to talk Thom into bringing something, maybe our mountain bikes, maybe road with some beefier tires, since I'm intrigued by this ride. I can only take so much of our families.

I think we are going to be in Bethel the entire week of the 4th, so if you are looking to ride, let me know! We will also be doing a ride on the 8th with our friends, but I think that is when you are heading back out west... I'll PM you my direct contact info, and if you are interested in getting together during the week, just let me know - we'd be glad to show you some good riding!

Great job on an awesome ride. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I will admit my first impulse is to chuckle when I see "Elevation 3009" like its a high point. I live in the "low" "valley" at 4980 ft., most of the area is 5200 - 5500. I grew up thinking Denver, the Mile High city, was low at 5280 because we lived in the mountains at 9500. BUT, its all relative. 0 - 3009 is still a 3009 ft. climb, and 4500 ft. in 70 miles is an awesome accomplishment.

PS. I forgot to add that I love your jersey!

Great job and you should be proud! Its always fun when you can include a friend in the ride. Nice pics, I especially like the one taken from the riding view with you, your friend and the leg. Thats clever and talent!
