Laconia Bike Week
Looking for input on Laconia Bike Week.
I will be going to Americade this year with five friends. Thinking about hitting Laconia after Americade. Don't need to stay in the middle of the action. I actually prefer to stay on the outskirts of the action. In Lake George we are renting a cabin. Looking for similar accommodations in or around Laconia.
Would only stay a night or two then head back to NYC.

June 12 to 20
June 12 to 20th.. sometimes known as Rainconia. Last year was a washout. It used to be that they were back to back, but I think they put a week between them last year. But I see this they are back to back again.
Not to discourage you, but if I were you I'd ride from Americade, over into Vermont and maybe enjoy the fabulous roads in VT a bit on the way over.
In fact what I would do is ride over and stay in either Wells River Vermont, at the Wells River Motel, use that as a base and stay there till you want to go home. Then take Rt 5 or Rt 91 all the way home through Vt Mass and CT.
The closer you get to Laconia the more expensive it will get and the less good the roads will get. From Wells River, or it's next door neighbor Woodsville. You can take 302 East to 112 which turns into the Kancamangus highway which is not to be missed in New Hampshire and will drop you down right into Conway and then Laconia.

You can also stay in Lincoln NH which is where Loon Mountain is and a great place to stay. I'm sure you could get a nice condo over there. But that Wells River place is a find and cheap.
Just some thoughts. I go every year and live and ride in the area. That's what I would do. But I'm more about riding that hanging around at the strip. But you could ride over a couple days and see everything you need to see, live cheaper and enjoy the fine roads of Vermont and NH.
Watch out for Moose at sundown.

Just make sure everything is legal last 2 years the state police have been pulling all bikes over on the interstate going into and out of lake george looking for inspections, insurance and illegal pipes, i normally take back roads. I had a friend who was pulled over 6 times and there is no reason why they would stop seeing NY is 6 billion in debt. Just watch out
