Laconia - First time
I'm riding in on Saturday the 11th to Laconia and only staying until Monday the 13th. Basically I will only have 2 days. I've never been to Laconia Bike week before. I'm looking for a few "must-do's" for the short time my wife and I will be there. Any suggestions?

Post in the New England forum. What you consider "must do" is up to you. Some people love the scene at Wiers Beach, others would rather have holes drilled in their skull than sit in traffic.
Lots of people take the auto road to the top of Mt Washington, but it is very steep and has many turns and drop offs.
The most direct route is Route I90 to I93, but most riders peel off 90 onto Route 7 in Albany to Rt 9 at the MA/VT border then head NE on back roads, or continue North to the White Mountain National Forest and take Rt 112, the Kankamagus Highway

Ride the white mountain area. Very good
chance to see moose. Also Flume Gorge, old man of the mountain( it fell off) but still interesting. Mt Washington. All i can say is ride its very nice area.

Buenos Notches!
I just got back from day trip up that way. Construction at the Weirs is done, and the new boardwalk looks pretty nice. Yeah, consider Mt. Washington Auto Road if the weather allows - weather can be nasty up top. Also head north and ride the Kancamagus (Rt 112), and the Notches on Rt 16, and 302.
Here is a nice notches tour I put together: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/membe...ches-tour.html
EDIT: There is also the official Laconia MC Week schedule that lists the official scheduled events: http://www.laconiamcweek.com/Schedule/
Enjoy!

I'm am going as well, leaving on the same day, but from Illinois. Will be there the week and heading back home the following weekend. I definitely want to do the bike only ride up Mt Washington. There are a couple of threads with info on good road to ride and places to visit. I have family in Cape Cod and Vermont, will be doing road trips to see them while I'm out that way. This will be my first "rally", so I want to do and see it all....
