We pretty much climbed steadily from North Woodstock to the Pass, over about 15 miles. The climb itself was easier than we expected - the only times we ended up walking were not due to trouble biking, but, rather, to traffic and road conditions - for example, we'd get off our bikes when there was a lot of traffic and then be unable to start up again because we were in very low gears, there was NO shoulder, and we didn't have a good view of the road in order to determine when it was safe to start.
Coming down was initially very challenging - the first 4 miles there was a 7% grade, NO shoulder, some rough pavement, and lots of cars. After that it was not so bad and practically down all the way to Conway! It sprinkled most of the last 2-3 hours of the trip but our biking clothes are light weight and dry quickly moving through the air, even as they continue to get wet again. We were beginning to feel sort of damp and chilly by the end of the ride - but then we got to our motel and hot showers.
A few highlights:
- We biked all day in GORGEOUS country -which only got better as the day wore on.
- The fall colors got better as we came down from the pass;
- There were quite a few Forest Service campgrounds, picnic areas and scenic waysides with vault toilets.
- We had 2-3 miles of bike path coming out of Lincoln, which was nice.
- About 5 of the last 8 miles into Conway were on a very lightly traveled back road with a lovely covered bridge, some campgrounds, and lots of cabin-type homes.
- We saw another lovely rainbow.
Today's Photos: We'll post 'em tomorrow!
Tomorrow: Staying put in Conway through Monday, 10/11, to escape holiday traffic.
For Those Who Want More: Nothing more tonight!
Hooray! I'm so glad you're safely in Conway!
