Today I rode the New Hampshire "notches", Crawford, Franconia, and Pinkham, as well as the Mt. Washington Auto road for the first time on a bike. The trip up was a little hairy only because the cages were going so damn slow that I had to stop a few times on a moderate uphill pitch on the dirt. The way down was more of the same as I had to use the brakes as engine braking in first gear is good for the 10-15 mph range and not below that. All in all, easier than I expected, but I was still too chicken to stop and take some pics of the road on the way up. Please enjoy the pics I did manage to take.
