While at FRFF, I went on this fun morning ride. The highlight of this was scaling the Bash Bish Falls road notch twice. This road, which is 2.1 miles in length from Copake Falls to the top of the notch, averages 7 percent grade, with the steepest part being 12 percent. If not for its short length, the climb would rate high in the UCI climbing ranks (with its short length, though, this is something like a Category 2, at best). I felt good, so I did it twice. The rest of the ride had some longer, more sustained hills, with some nice shade, some friendly bovines, a wild turkey and a lot of sweat.
