Lincoln, NH Trip

[Easy Ed]

New England Riders has a big White Mountains Trip scheduled for Sep 9-13. NER is a very friendly group of Sport Tourers, Tourers, and cruisers. We are staying at the Kancamagus Lodge and the Lodge at Lincoln Station. These venues are across the street from each other and are located at the beginning of the good part of the Kanc in Lincoln, NH. The posted rides are fantastic and we have a group dinner Sat night. Most evenings we get together at the hotel Sports Bar or at another venue within walking distance. There is quite a bit of cross over between the FJR Group and NER so chances are that you will see someone you know. Join us if you are able: https://www.newenglandriders.org/Lincoln/Lincoln_Weekend.htm

How much time do ya have? Go from Sanford west to Rt 153 to Conway, to Rt 112/Kancamagus Hwy to Lincoln. Take 93 north through beautiful and dramatic Franconia Notch to 302 east to Rt 16 north to Mt Washington Auto Road and scare yourself shitless riding up the mountain where the weather and the view are both stunning.

Be prepared to be blown away by Mt Washington (note the chains on the building to hold it down)

All familiar territory Alan. In case you didn't know, I was born in Boston and grew up mostly in MA, but also in VT. I then lived in Sanford for 10 years and then Bath, NH. I know the routes you speak of. I will probably do some of that coming from the west heading to Sanford. Taught my kids to ski at Cannon Mt.

My neck of the woods and although our season is short, there is a lot of great riding up here. Unfortunately I work Wednesday through Sunday. Maybe I can get away for a bit and meet some of you?
