Stuck in Conway

Sorry, no new pics today. We're updating at a coffee shop in Conway, NH and I didn't think to bring my camera cable with us. Yesterday was a pretty tough day, terrain-wise, but fairly successful. We biked 60 miles, from Turner, ME to Conway, NH, and over several steep climbs. We had our first semi-mountain pass and handled it fairly well. However, we had a little more difficulty with a couple of the shorter climbs later on in the day (you'll understand once we are able to put pics up). Whoever designed some of these roads definitely did not have cyclists in mind. There was one point when we topped one peak only to discover another that disappeared seemingly into the clouds, at a rather steep climb. But, we made it. Its amazing how difficult it is to control a bike when you're only going about 4-5 miles an hour-unfortunately there were a couple times that some of us weren't able to keep from tipping, so far Karla's the only one to not fall. The good news is Evie has reduced her MPF (miles per fall) to about 25 miles now. But the reward of topping those peaks and coasting for miles is incredible. I think me and Bruce both topped out at around 40! We still have to go a little faster to top Sheldons top speed but we'll get there.
For me the hardest part has been keeping myself energized by eating enough. Apparently I require more then the rest of the gang because I seem to be out of juice a lot sooner. Not only do the mountians wear on you physically but mentally as well. I found myself really unmotivated after a full day of riding.
We're actually taking the day off today because most of our gears have been having difficulty. So we've been walking around the town of Conway and enjoying the day. It was also really nasty out and rainy so we decided to wait til tomorrow hoping that it would clear up. We're sleeping at the foot of our first really big mountain, so tomorrow could be a rough one. Welp, thats all for now, we'll post again if we survive these next couple days of mountains.
