Black Cap Mtn North Conway

Slept way late. Chilly again.

Drove correct way to Red jersey cycling for ride info. Made it, guy very helpful sharing a ride idea. Bought map. Rode from shop. Rode Red tail Trail up. NEMBA did work on it making it mostly rideable for me. Roots & rocks but climb was still some walking. Really sweated up.

Where Red Tail trail joined into Connector the NEMBA work ceased allowing me to become a hike a biker. Some pretty nasty stuff. Good ride.

Woods have many old trails or remnants leading to several false starts down lower.

Rode back to Red Jersey & debriefed.

Headed back into town for shower at yesterday’s camp ground. Drove a little further & did wash.

Drove back to N Conway, hit grocery store for prepared dinner. And then drove back to Echo Lake camp spot.

Seems like NE still uses pay phones.

Why I did not attempt MT Washington:

Left knee is still bothersome.

Listening to Obama McCain debate. Listened to NPR prior to debate and learned that it is all so orchestrated.
