5 miles UP A MOUNTAIN

We swam in Glen Lake NH this morning for about 20 minutes then we went to the Mooseman Course at Wellington State Park in Bristol to ride.

We got to the park and started our ride. It was actually very nice riding along the lake on tight switchback roads. It reminded me of when i was racing motorcycles. So there we are riding and not really knowing where we were going. We took a turn and started up a hill. No problem, we are in NH, you have to like hills. So we're climbing, and climbing, and climbing. The (curse word here) hill never stopped. Rumor has it that we were climbing for over 5 miles. But as they always say, what goes up... on the way down we saw "hill truck" warning signs that said a mile. And we saw a few of them. It ws a good ride and felt really good when it was done. I had never ridden any distance close to that and it felt good. The gearing on my mountain bike limited some speed on the flats and down sections but it wasn't that bad at all.

31.4 mi, avg 15.7 mph, max 45.7 mph :-)
