John Blakeslee needs to work on the hot tub and Brenda and Sara want to go on another hike. But I have to ride. White Mountain Pass awaits. First, however, I have to go to town for lattes. So I'm not on the road until 10:15. The climb is gentle – mostly 6% - but continuous. Road signs tell me the pass will be at mile 17. Since I promised to be back by 1:00, my mental calculations tell me I won't get to the top. And sure enough, I stop at a scenic overlook near mile 14; it;s 12:05. So I snap a couple of photos and turn around. It takes 1.75 hours to go up and .5 hours come down.
