Went on an amazing ride this weekend. 5 of us left on Saturday morning from Coventry RI at 7AM. After an hour ride through the north west side of RI and a stop at the diner for breakfast we continued our ride north through MA and eventualy got onto route 125 in haverall MA. Route 125 was a pleasure through towns that only exist in the north east. Eventually we joined up with Route 16 which became our primary road for the rest of the trip north. We went up north into the white mountains. The scenary was the subject of many postcards. We were able to spot a moose by the side of the road!!!
When we entered Conway NH one of the 5 guys had trailer his bike and we stopped so he could get out of his cage. We then went up into the National Park and headed through even more beautiful scenery. Great rolling hills and gentle corners brought us to the start of the drive up the Mt Washington Auto Road.
$10 and our trip up began. I am sure many have done this drive, for those that haven't this is ta must in your motorcycle adventure. Dropoffs on both sides and no guardrails required concentration and caution. The turn offs to view the Moutains at various elevations was a delight. We reaced the summit and were taken away by the time to reflect on what we had just driven up.
We made our way down which produced yet more opportunites to view and wonder. Our night was spent in a campground where, as the chef, I must say that the steak and potatoes where a great dinner. However the bacon/sausage/potatoe/pepper/onion/egg/cheese combination for breakfast was a delight!!!!!
Our ride home was much the same as described.
