    If there's a planned ride for that Saturday, I should be able to make it. I hate walking around, I want to ride. I don't mind a lunch break, but if it's a gab session and blowing a day in the crowds, I'll pass. Sorry, I just want the miles....too many rain days up this way!

    Oh wow! I hope you can meet Lloyd! He rides ok for a Canadian.

    BE sure and get up Mt Washington while you're there. Lots of fun there.

    Lloyd said Mt Washington was "wicked." Does wicked mean good or bad?

    Yes Mt Washington was wicked and I do mean "wicked Good". We did it last year and one guy stopped on the way up and was having a moment! I known this guy for 15yrs and never knew he was that scared of heights. He said he was good until he stood on his pegs to look off the side but he made it after some encouraging words. It can get busy especially with the tour vans going up and down but worth the slow ride to the top.
    Last year it was closed on Saturday for a bunch of crazy people who were running up it. We went back on Sunday on our way home.
    Teach if you think I had some funny expressions you would die to meet this crew that is riding down with me. I actually have to sometimes double take and think '' what is he trying to say???''

    Suezanna likes Mt Washington. But she's BA like that. I hated every second. I didn't think I was gonna get my fingers loose from the grips.

    Anyone who stands on their pegs to look over the side should get pushed over the side. That's just ridiculous.

    Hey I have a hard enough time understanding Northerners to begin with!!!
