Bike Week - This weekend 6/19 and 20th

[peakbagger]

For those coming up north this weekend, its the final weekend of bike week in Laconia. There will be lots of motorcycles on the road all over the whites and the higwways south of the Laconia are going to be packed.

If you want solitude head way north or get a mountain or to between you and the road, probably a nice weekend to do the Bonds, Carrigan, the Owl and Isolation

sounds like an unruly swarm of killer bees..constantly buzzing

bikes are everywhere...be careful

the one week of the year where living in Meredith is less than desireable

Head for the Hills!!

bike weekend .. the best weekend to be anywhere else .. take Maine for instance we also had the bonus of temps 20 degrees cooler!!

heard 'em

Coming down off Field, Willey and Tom, we heard the bikes going through Crawford Notch from quite a distance. Couldn't hear them from the summits, though. Lots of NH Staties on the road going home too.

They are no louder than those logging trucks trying to climb hills or jake braking downhill. It's 1 week a year, you still have 51 weeks w/o them. We enjoyed bike week and I have only missed 2 in 33 years.

BTW I do NOT own a Harley! I have a large on/off road bike, which is ideal for the area I live in.

I have an Austin Healey, which I don't take camping, and love to pull up alongside a Harley ... the harmonics we make are cool!

It bothered me the first year I went up on Father's Day weekend but not anymore. (could hear Route 16 from the top of the tuck's headwall, wind direction would impact sound also.)

If you are quick & get up early, the Pinkham area has'nt been bad the times i've been. With the Auto road closed for runners, the vehicle traffic can't head up until the afternoon.
