The weather and ride were just great, and the reason has to be that it was John Pepper's 83rd Birthday, which was celebrated in a song that radiated out for miles over the valley towards the Kanc!! The sun just had to shine for us today!!!
Accompanying John today were:
36 total riders (31 did the Notch, 5 did the River Road and Stilling's Grant Area)
4 new Thursday bikers
4 brand new bikes
At least 12 riders who summited Bear Notch for the first time ever
Some blood was shed by one, and one had a black and blue arm. No tears.
4 went all the way to the Kanc and then rode back up (snow is all gone on that side)
1, with his trailer, did the loop down the Kanc to Conway and back up West Side Road (~40 miles)
1 had a flat tire right out of the Attitash lot, drove to Red Jersey, rim tape replaced.... She started again and still made it up to the top in time to see the rest of us just starting our way down.
Everyone's brakes worked, so no one skidded into the closed highway gate at the bottom of the hill.A very successful day!
See you next week!
