Missed Chris Brainard's Chutters Candy Store in Littleton NH.
For a long flattish stretch of 10-20 miles we did some nice pacelining, sharing the load and not overpulling.
For the 8 mile climb in Groton State Park, we switched to individual riding, but stayin in the vicinity of each other. Met a lady who lived in the area.
After Dinner went out with a group to find a bar - Nancy bought drinks.
Eric opened my bottom bracket (had noise on the power push on each side on Attitash day) There was no lubrication in the bottom bracket. He was able to get bearings and install them. (It seemed better at the time, but came back a bit two days later. Research after the ride said I had it a year earlier at RSC - cured a bit, but never stayed cured. Maybe the Chris King Hubs need to be looked at as Robin has suggested.)
