Well, never made it to Wilkins HD in Barre. Somehow we missed it. We made a wrong turn on to 12A for about 10 miles and then back on to 12. I think we went right around Barre. We ended up in Morrisville, had lunch there and rode back on 100. Stopped at the VT country store.&nbsp\\;Rt 30 into&nbsp\\;Brattleboro then over to Keene to rt 12 back home.&nbsp\\;Great ride, weather was perfect. Guess I'll have to try to make it to Wilkins some other time.

Ya I have used Rt.12A to go to Lebanon,NH and it is a nice road.
Was surprised a few hi-tech companies along it.
Nice to get paid good $$$ and live in that beautiful area.
We usually cross over to Rt.5 South in VTand head back home.
Next time I want to go Rt.5 North and see all the great views looking North
and then go Rt.4 West to Rt.100 South.
BTW ...
We did our Sunapee rideand&nbsp\\;passed a HUGE group of 100+ bikes on the side road
from Sunapee to Rt.10 South. Defiantly an organized ride of some sort.
I am guessing maybe out of the Lebanon,NH HD ?
We then saw some of the Peterboro Poker Run guys down in Marlow,NH
and also saw the Peterboro,NH stop for the Tyler ride that was out of Westford,MA.
We stopped at Kimball's in Jaffery,NH and " OF COURSE "&nbsp\\;ran into OldHippie there .... LOL ....

Any of you guys ever been to Stearns Square in Springfield, MA. on Thursday nights for the free concerts? Usually a few hundred bikes there and some&nbsp\\;fairly well known performers. Check it out here http://springfielddowntown.com/default.aspx?id=560 I'm thinking about going this week. Any body wants to go, let me know.

I have not been, as it is a tad far for me to ride back from there in the evening during the week, but I've heard it's a great time.

Steve
We have been to Tuesday night bike week a few times and don't bother any more.
I am even in their CD video promotion they hand out (my buddy did the video ... LOL ..)
Personally I ride VERY LITTLE East of Rt.3 !
99% of our riding is West of Pepperell,MA &amp\\;\\\\\\; Hollis,NH ....
Might do Kimball's in Jaffery tomorrow night for an ice cream.
If we do it will probably be on our Dyna's.
