Usually on weekends, I try to make time to get out with my wife or sons for day rides in and around NH. Today I took a 180 mi loop up north with my wife, eventually travelling across the Kancamagus hwy and down through the lakes region. Started out in the early AM a little damp from the overnight rains, in the 60's, but had all day to stretch our ride out at a leisurely pace. For those interested in nice bike routes, ours followed Rt 107 N, onto Rt 132 N which is a great country road paralleling the I-93 hwy, onto Rt 175 N , across the "Kanc", down Rt 16, Rt 113, Rt109, and Rt 28. There are other detours along the way, too.
Turned into a beautiful day reaching 80 degrees, with side stops to put our feet into the ice cold river rapids in Thornton, swimming (or should I say submersing under water while grasping onto the rocks) in the chilly Swift River swollen from recent rains, and then lounging by Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfboro.
