North Woodstock,NH - Lovell,ME (57 miles)
This morning we set out to conquer the final pass of our trip: Kancamangus. We had heard that it wasn't bad, but we were both a bit skeptical. Not bad could mean a 10% rather than a 12% grade--one rarely knows when it is coming from someone who has never biked it.
To our delight, the steepest grade on "The Kank" was 7% - totally manageable, 12 miles up, 20 miles down. And we couldn't have had better weather: clear blue skies and sunny. So we decided to take our time and really enjoy the ride and the beauty of the White Mountains.
After the pass, we road over the state line and into Maine. Can you believe it?! We are in Maine! And in two days we will be on Jon's farm in Dresden. A month ago we were in Petoskey,MI, hanging out with Theresa and Rick. Two months ago we were in Whitefish,MT, hanging out with Chuck and Rita. And before we know it, we'll be back in Milwaukee.
