If you like that ride you should check out the Climb to the Clouds century (we found out the hard way it's actually 107.3). If I recall it was around 5500 ft of total climbing. You get to ride up the road to the left of the mountain which is around 9 degrees for a little over a mile. Then up the tote road of Mt. Wachusett all the way to the top. Awesome view at the top. Worth the climb. Glad you are ready with your brakes because my buddy and on our decent of the mt had serious brake fade. We were alternating all the way down for fear of heating the rims too much. Have fun. Pretty sweet. If you like that ride you should check out the Climb to the Clouds century (we found out the hard way it’s actually 107.3).
