Event: 2017 Corn Maze Champs
Note
Helped out a little at the corn maze, so ably organized by Steve and JJ. So fine to see the event being continued.

Day 6 of hill-climb week.
River Road - Old Deerfield loop, an old standard that I've been ignoring in favor of new adventures. But it seemed suitable today -- a warm-up of just over 20 miles, with good efforts on the half-dozen little ups along the way -- all in preparation for the hill-climb that came right at the end, our driveway.
Just about a tenth of a mile. Climb about 50 feet. One hairpin turn. Full speed (for me) and pretty sure a PR. 25 seconds. And then hit the brakes hard to avoid running into the stone wall at the end. :-)
A fine way to end hill-climb week as tomorrow will be a rest day. Unless the expected rain somehow doesn't show up.
And still more hills out there to test myself on with three in particular in mind, each posing a sufficient challenge to make success quite uncertain:
-- Mt. Tom, more specifically the narrow road that angles up from near the base of the old ski area to the collection of towers up top.
-- Peennell Hill Road, a fixture on one of the D2R2 routes that I have not yet summoned the courage for.
-- And then Lincoln Gap (and the other gaps) up in Vermont.
There is a sense that if they are to be done, best be done soon...
