If you can't make it to Laconia this year, save gas money and and tire rubber by clicking on the photo to link to my trip summary (photos and blah blah).
I'd pencil Laconia in every year but I don't as the history for rain is too great. To spend hundred's of dollars on a crappy motel room or cabin so I can sit around and look at the dark, rain filled skys just doesn't fly for me.
I've had some great rides while attending Laconia in the past. Tons of laughs and good times but... I now go up for a couple days when time and weather permits. This year, I can't as I've been laidup and have appointments with docs I need to keep. Still, nice to read and see pics/videos of the event as I do wish I was there.
I enjoyed your photos and write up. Hope through ll of the bad weather that you still had a good time and look to return soon. There really is some good riding to be had in the New England counrtyside.
