The day started a little later than normal as originally the restaurant had told Judy that breakfast was from 6:30 am. However, as we were some of the very few guests the actual restaurant man told us at tea that he could start at 6 if we wanted. A text to Judy telling her same was sent. She must have decided to leave things as the were. Nevertheless breakfast started at just after 6am for those keen ones. It was one of the nicer breakfasts. In fact by all accounts the restaurant here was really good. Our dinner was great here. The weather dawned fine and warm. Leaving the hotel we hit a 15% climb straight from the gate. Ouch that hurt as it was reasonably long. After that we rolled along and caught a little bunch which we rode with for a bit. This bunch stopped when we came upon one of our early starters- he was stopped on the side of the road in the middle of some road works it appears as if he fell off or had a small crash of some kind.
We crossed two state lines today. We passed through Vermont and into New Hampshire.
Today consisted of 3 major climbs and some "rollers". Well I consider any roller" that has a passing lane on it to be a hill and there were plenty of these. Someone measured in excess of 9000 feet of climbing today. Some good downhills.
Scenery along the way.
Summit of another climb-Hogback Mountain.
Hmm where's that again.
The climbs splintered the group and we found ourselves first to arrive at the hotel at 3:58. Others arrived slowly and the luggage a little later.
Distance 125m in 7:24.
Tomorrow is supposed to be more of the same so could be along day as we wait for the group to regroup before hitting the beach enmasse. Bring on the last day.
