Cool Here it is!

Yep,

Today's the opening day of Laconia Bike Week, and HERE COMES THE RAIN!!


I've always wondered why they don't move Laconia Bike Week to August when the weather is dry, or October when the foliage is in full swing. But then again, New Hampshire has no trouble pulling in tourism in the later half of the summer and fall, just for those reasons. Hell, they even effectively sell winter as a ski destination.


Then I realized some marketing genius sold us an outdoor activity right square in the middle of their rainy season, and filled a time frame they couldn't give away otherwise. No way in hell are they going to move it.

Weather is suppose to break after the weekend so hopefully Monday and thru the week will be decent. You will have plenty to do even if your going solo. You can ride to and park at the Weirs Beach area and see all the events and sights. You can travel thru the White Mountains and the Cangamangus Highway which both areas are beautiful.

Forecast looks awesome for most of the week.

I'll be riding up from NC on Tuesday. I'll be killing a couple of weeks in the area.

Default A few pics & a video from Laconia

I took a ride up to Laconia on the sunny day. Here are a few pictures, and a short video.

And yes, it's raining again as I type this.


Cheers,

Medic, Where are you leaving from? I might be game for Sun, come back Tuesday. Was going to wait until my FLHRSI showed up to take a few days on the road, but I might be interested. I'm down in Cape May County.
