843.1Why not a loop.AITG::HUBERMANWed Aug 31 1988 14:083
    Why don't you do a loop,  Kancamagus to rt 3 to 302 to Bear Notch
    Rd?  about 85 miles.

	Do the Kancamagus west to East if you are doing a loop.
	The west side has a few switchbacks where the East side
	allows a straighter descent. (Put on your jacket and knee
	warmers at the top too.)

    the west side has places where you can upshift, too.  I never feel
    like upshifting when I'm climbing the east slope even though our
    highway engineers claim the slope's steeper on the west side. (9%
    west, 7% east).

843.5East side not bad!AITG::HUBERMANWed Aug 31 1988 18:263
    I've ridden up the east side.  It wasn't too bad.  The west side
    has a greater elevation gain and looked more difficult to me.

    	I knew this wasn't going to easy.. Wednesday's are school night
    for me. Is Wednesday's the only day you could make it? The earliest
    I'ld be able to do it would be Thursday Sept. 8th.. All Wednesday's
    and Friday's are out for me. So we'ld have to do it Mon, Tue or
    Thurs.. 
    	Let's plan for Sept. 8th, everyone who is will to do the ride,
    please send me E-Mail. I'll coordinate this event and back to you
    on any changes..                                      
                                                                    
    	Right now everything is negotiable.

I think Ed means the Kanc (112)-Bear Notch Rd-302-3-18-116-112.  That's a 
great route...we did it in June.  I could be tempted...
