2nd breakfast after an awesome long 15 mi and 2000 ft decent into Lincoln:

From there towards Franconia Notch, the climb was all the way in an nice good paved hike&bike trail into the woods - it felt like a Mountain Bike Trail ride uphill in the woods, but on a road bike as the trail was winding it way up and varied it's grade all the time from 2..12% - it passed by quickly and they reached the top.
