Day 17: Pancakes and Kancamagus

Started the day at Polly's Pancake Parlor for a carbo loaded breakfast with Mom and Dad. I highly recommend this place! They serve you 6 pancakes, 3 at a time to make sure you get them as fresh as possible. Mom and I had cornmeal coconut pancakes with real maple syrup and Dad had oatmeal banana pancakes. Everyone loved what they had. After breakfast I was dropped off at the route 93 end of the Kancamagus for a 37 mile ride. Completely high on sugar I cruised right into the rain and quickly accepted the fact that this was going to be another soggy ride. The ascent was incredibly foggy. It was a bit less nerve wracking to climb because I could hear the cars. The fog was so thick you couldn't see the cars until they were very close. Riding down the mountain was somewhat of a challenge since I could only see a few feet ahead of me. Thank goodness there were no moose crossing today :). The ride went quickly and I attribute this to the pancakes! Once at the other end of the highway, I met up with my parents. Dad bought me a hot chocolate. The only place he could find was a local bar. Nice. How he managed to get a hot chocolate with loads of whipped cream from a bar is beyond me but Dad is resourceful and it tasted delicious after a cold ride! Thanks Dad!
