The Finish & A Huge Surprise
0 Comments Published by mike.iacovella September 2nd, 2006 in On The RoadFour states? Check. Three days? Check. Two wheels? Check. (still there!) And one incredibly inspiring cause!
Fuel the Flame quite literally rolled into the Lexington Center gym this morning at 1130 to super-warm welcome, in contrast to the cold, wet weather brewing outside. FTF covered the last 40+ miles under mostly clear skies, zipping past the […]
FTF is now at the base of the last big climb before coasting down into Gloversville. Since leaving Lake Luzerne at 830, we’ve been riding along the north shore of Lake Sacandaga… On to Lexington Center!
So, we’re not the best at math - we’ve gone more than 200 miles over 2 days! This puts our estimated total at over 240 miles over three days. Some final stats for today: 101 miles, climbed to 2800+ feet, on the road from 815am to 615pm, and the number of covered bridges […]
130pm: The worst climbing is over! FTF just summitted both Mt Snow & Stratton (well, at least the highest road over each) before zooming back down and out of the Green Mountains into Arlington, VT, for a much-needed lunch break. Some stats so far today: 51 miles (151 overall), avg 14 mph, and […]
Taking a break at a 7-Eleven at the base of Mt Snow, after losing some of the altitude we gained… About 1,900ft so far, over 22 miles. A quick stop for water and king-size Snickers… Off again. Next update at lunch!
645am - breakfast…. 723am - Nothing like an early morning dip in the jacuzzi to get the blood flowing. Adam, Harrison and Mike make the most of the Colonial Hotel in Brattleboro (the public-nudity capital of the NorthEast, at least according to the Globe).
