The Rock Pile and the Kancamagus!


Mount Washington weekend without the bike...took the family up to North Conway to check out the sites; the Rock Pile, Down Town North Conway, Story Land, and the Kancamagus Pass(highway)...great weekend(long) get away.

Did get a run in along route 16 early in the morning...my running wasn't spectacular but, the scenery and weather was perfect. 4-5 miles?

We drove up MT Washington on Saturday because the weather was supposed to be a bit breezy on Sunday(80+ mph), and I was able to get a real good look at the course for next year. This does not look easy!...after the 4000ft marker it looks real tough, steep climbs (especially at the end) and the wind will be ridiculous...On Sunday, we drove home on the Kancamagus and some of the views were awesome (The picture above is from the Kancamagus looking south). One thing is for sure, riding the Kancamagus on my road bike was just put on my list of things to do(I'd also love to ride that on a Harley or a BMW!).
