Leading a ride this Saturday

Last week, 7HW asked me to lead a ride. After I got the OK from the wife, I decided to lead a ride.

I like to do this route on the weekends for a couple of reasons. The first 12 miles has a good amount of climbing, so it gets the legs and lungs warmed up. Once we get to route 62, it's mostly flat. It's a good stretch to recover and cruise. The big climb up mile hill road on Wachusett is one of my favorites. When I can, I try to do intervals there.
Last year I used it for my Greylock century training. In terms of difficulty, the climb to Wachusett summit is harder than the climb to Greylock summit. During the summer months, it is a popular climb for cyclist.
