The Upper Midwest received its first real prelude to winter over the past few days. Here in the Twin Cities we’ve gotten about 4 inches of snow so far, and I know that South Dakota and Nebraska have gotten snowed on as well. While we know that this snow will melt and that we’ll have some [...] Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hill Climb – “The Toughest Hill Climb in the World.” That’s what it’s called and that’s how they promote it. This was my year to ride it and find out for myself.
The climb is 7.6 [...] My taper in advance of the Mt Washington Hill Climb looks like this:
Race Day – 7 (Sat, Aug 8): Short and easy ride (though as I mentioned yesterday, it didn’t exactly work out that way). R – 6 (Today, Sun, Aug 9): Short ride but include [...] We always hope that our ride will be on a 75 degree, sunny and calm day. Unfortunately, we rarely ride in these conditions. And while this year will be my first Mt Washington race, my understanding is that race conditions are rarely, if ever, even close to ideal.
These words popped into my head during a ride years ago, and I’ve repeated them over and over again ever since. I don’t know exactly when they came to me or the specific circumstances which caused me to think them, but they’ve been powerful words to me.
