| Yeah, I heard you guys had a 70 mph tail wind.

| It was a bummer but my friend and I went riding down to to Conway with
a side trip up to the Black Mt. ski area. I remember that it was
a fabulous day and sweating profusely going up the hills and amazed
at how the weather could be so bad just a few miles away!
I'll try again though.

| There's enough switchback on Mt. Washington so what's a tailwind for
a while tends to become a headwind someplace later on the course. I
look back with fondness on '79 -- warm, sunny, and 1:12 (after 130-mile
road race the day before -- Mt. Washington used to be a great 2-day
event).

| Boy! You can tell you havn't been there for a while! :-)
Actually, the road changes directions maybe 5 times. In between the
corners you can be looking at long straight distances.
Well Justin, you know what they say is the first to go with age... :-)
BTW, you'd probably need a 50mph tailwind to make a difference on that
ride anyway.

| maybe you had you're head down too much?
You really think it changes direction only 5 times?

| most changes are extermely subtle (if you really want to get
technical).
how do i know (you ask)? i'm looking at an aerial photograph of the
Auto Road (poster size) on the wall in my office.
forgery, maybe? :-)

| yeah, you're prolly right. i ran into the same problem one year. i had
to walk to one of the car "turn-outs" to re-mount the bike.

| 2951.13 | mounting bikes on steep roads | SMURF::LARRY | | Thu May 11 1995 15:38 | 4 |
| I practiced getting on my bike on the steepest section of Miller St.
park in NH. I was thinking of buying SPD pedals (for other
reasons) but heard they are
even harder to mount with than regular road pedal systems.

| My brain agrees with the dont get off the bike philosophy ... just
have to convince the rest of my body. I think I can, I think I can,
I think I can ... ;-) Larry
