So I'm going to be switching jobs and scheduling in a couple weeks off between. Most will be spent with the family but would love to sneak away for a few days for myself to clear the mind and rejuvenate. I live in central pa and thinking a trip up to New England states. Anyone have any suggestions? It'd be nice if it coincided with Laconia bike week but not sure if it will.

 

Go ride the White Mountains in New England. If you feel really ambitious, ride out to Nova Scotia and do the Cabot Trail.

 

New England was there before Laconia was settled, & it will be there after they leave.

 

I did a New England trip last year, hit Bethel, NY (Woodstock), Cooperstown (Baseball HOF), VT-9 through the Green Mountains of Vermont, several roads through the White Mountains of NH including the Kancamagus highway and Crawford Notch, looped over through Maine, back to Laconia then down to Boston, RI, Conn and NY city (hitting all 5 boroughs). The states are small. All of that in 5 full days.

Great trip, but take RAIN gear.

 

I'll second the Cabot trail. It is about 1300 Miles from Central PA.

Check out that road behind me
