Last year I incorporated Mt. Kearsarge as part of my century -- it wasn't the best idea in harsh rain! So I'll definitely be driving to these locations instead of starting from home.
I did Pack Monadnock on a whim, doing a 150 mile rode out of Cambridge. (But I got lost coming into NH and added an unplanned 25 miles.) So at mile ~90 I rode up in a 42-19. That was the old days. I was a bike racer. 5 cogs. Close spacing, that's what you get. I did walk the last 100' or so, mostly because a family in their car followed me all the way up. I looked at the finale and knew it was going to be slow! I walked so they could get to their picnic. That was one lonnggg!! day.
