A few late arrivals from the fine folks at Vermont Gran Fondo. Still doesn’t do the ride justice.
At this point things didn’t see too bad. It’s the very top of Appalachian Gap. Sure doesn’t look like 16% grade in this pic.
Here I’m really struggling at the top of Lincoln Gap. I’d just gotten back on my bike after walking about 1/4 mile. I don’t want to disparage, but notice the rider walking behind me.
And finally, turning in to the finish back at Middlebury College Snow Bowl. I’m just as exhausted, but felt much more elated than I look.

As I said on the other blog, great photos!
