Riding the 9th steepest road in the U.S. #cycling

Sam’s recipe for a good day — Vermont, bikes, and hills.

I’m riding the ninth steepest road in the United States today to test out my new gearing 15 miles in my shifting sounded almost cheap so I stopped and the problem was obvious I did not tighten my new cassette somehow this is what I came here for the last mile of the Lincoln Gap is a 15% grade which means I had a great test of my 3 to four gear ratio at the top there’s also a hiking trail to an Overlook so I trudged 20 minutes in my full biking gear and was not disappointed I asked this guy to film me because I was talking with everybody about my outfit no one stole my bike which meant the ride down continued the best sign yeah Vermont’s pretty nice a quick Maple creamy break and then I hit the middleberry Gap not as brutal as Lincoln but fun all the same the road was technically closed I went for it and my favorite sign meant I went for it really fast to the actual road closure and sure enough there was a bridge 60 M on the day some stats for the Nerds and that’s a wrap
