You follow the only road!

As you can see the crossing is very secure, unless you take a ten min
walk in the woods around the checkpoint. Pushing the Limits of our
timeline, we opted for the fastest return trip following 93 south and
Rt 4. I got home just in time to just in the shower, 1930. All in all
the trip was great! I wish I worn sunscreen, I forgot its March. The
RE did great, she can do the highway but going above 70mph uphill just
isn't going to happen. I didn't like using over 75% throttle, this
meant holding 70 mph on the flat stretches. It was Jr.s birthday so I
hope he had a good time, I'm looking forward to the trip again soon.

Ten min detour........

Who could turn down a ten min detour to see an cool waterfall. Ten
minutes turned into an hour and a half when it was brought to my
attention we were only 30 minutes from the border. The next leg was
easily the most fun and difficult, with a good two inches of sand over
the whole road it felt akin to the Trans Labrador not NH. Ether way I
was beginning to worry about the lack of dust in my lungs, good thing
that's no longer an issue.

Errol where?

Being told there is a great lunch joint will almost always provoke me
to follow anyone to the ends of the earth, well Errol NH is close. The
town reminded me of the intermittent Alaskan towns where you can stand
in one spot and see everything in the town at once. lunch was
fantastic, Moose burger and a beer! being the furthest thing from
tired we continued north. Jr wanted to show me Dixville notch, with a
smirk. As he put it there was a "woo hoo" on the way and its best if i
find it myself. going the speed limit the road feels as if it drops
out from under you, fun and scary.

North Conway

Following Jr. the expert on back roads (with no cops or speed limits)
we headed to Rochester then hit Rt 153 and continued north to Conway.
Gassing up just south of Mt. Washington we agreed to ride till we got
tired or 1400, which ever came first. The RE was doing great and the
first leg she was getting an easy 65mpg.

Morrison Lodge

Leaving Portsmouth around 0800, I gassed up and headed north.The plan
was to meet Jr. in Northwood around 0900, I took my time getting ready
for what I thought to be at most a 4 hour ride total. Starting
odometer reading on the Royal Enfield 8850, her mighty 500cc 33hp
engine would be put to the test.

It started like any other day on my Enfield

With reports of 85+ degree weather for New Hampshire, I could not pass
up a day on the bike! The next day I met up with Jr. at Morrison Lodge
in Northwood, NH. the plan was to ride to Mt. Washington then home,
easy simple great ride. 10 hours later we had covered the entire state
of NH!

No time for sleep!

Getting off the Tug at 0200 Wednesday morning, I rushed home getting to Portsmouth around 0730. I spent the rest of the day riding! 85 degrees in Portsmouth! Met up with Brother Hagman and his girl later for a beach ride.

Actually snow, real snow!!

After a boring winter, we got over a foot of the white stuff. I was able to convince a good friend to tag along in the side car, she was a trooper. The new knobby tires are great! The Ural was the only vehicle to make it up my driveway that day. All and all a great day for a ride.
