This is an average ride for me.

We meet at the base of Mt. Washington where it's only 19 above, starting early as to avoid the really cold weather. The Boys and I agree that we'll have a leisurely ride but within two or three miles we lapse into testosterone storm and begin to pick up the pace. We cover 80 miles at roughly an 8% grade in just under 3 hours. This includes a quick stop at Grandma's Bakery where we stuff ourselves silly with the best rhubarb pie on three continents.
