Nah, Not Climb to the Clouds. A climb up Mt. Wachusett does not exactly make an easier century . Besides, that fills up quickly.
It's the Mass Bike Century. I did their 35 mile ride several years ago, and it was well run, despite the terrible time I had on their tour across MA, a couple of years after that. The lure of the free 2 beers, Redbones food, and the ability to sign up the day before is also a draw. It starts at NARA park in Acton.
DH has agreed that we should try. Given the heat wave conditions, we will probably do a 75-80 mile ride on Sunday, when it is supposed to get cooler. We'll probably do our "Fruit Loop" ride up to Kimball's Fruit Farm, in Pepperell, but we'll start from the house, instead of the soccer field in Boxborough, which is 50 miles. There's lots of big hills, so it will be good training.
