Best BBQ North of the Mason Dixon

If you are going to ride over an hour in the cold you deserve a
reward. The Scythe of Time tradition has been Goody Cole's, a
surprisingly inexpensive BBQ joint. http://www.goodycoles.com/ worth
a stop no matter the weather. If you feel the need to spend over $8 be
ready to bring home leftovers! With a quick call an hour before we
planned to show up they were ready to feed 14 hungry bikers. I don't
think anyone had a chance to get utensils and crack open their moxie
before the plates of food started showing up on our tables.

Still not warming up

With temperatures in the lower 30's everyone was looking forward to a
hot meal. The ride was great, low traffic and great views. Its always
a good sight to see a group of Widows Sons together for charity
regardless of the weather. We were very happy to have a few guests
with us. Our Brothers from Maine who ride with us so frequently they
loose their guest status, and the Worshipful Master from St. Johns No.
1 in Portsmouth, NH was on the Royal Enfield for his first Widows Sons
ride.

Attempting to Warm up

With temperatures in the high 20's it was nice to have an hour to chow
down on a few doughnuts and go over the route for the day. The
destination was Goody Coles, a great BBQ joint in Brentwood, NH. Goody
Coles is only about 20 min as the crow flies, the Scythe of Time 100
is a twisty back roads hour long ride. The Ural would serve as the
Sargent at Arms vehicle for the day, carrying tools, extra gear and
leftovers would not be an issue.

The Tradition Lives On!

The 2nd annual Soggy Bottom Ride had a great turnout. 14 riders showed
up, despite the sub zero temperatures and snow. leaving Portsmouth
with Gib at 0915 and heading up to Morrison Lodge in Northwood, NH
gave the Ural and Royal Enfield a chance to warm up for a day of
riding. Morrison Lodge is the Charter Lodge of Scythe of Time. Sr. and
Jr. Tuttle showed up early with hot coffee and doughnuts. Riders came
from as far away as Portland, me for the charity Ride!

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.
