+3 on Bentley's, always, and I mean always a good time. If there for Bike Week, the day of their motorcycle show is great. I think it is Wednesday but check out their website to be sure.
On your way east out of the Queen City, travel 32 to 50. Near Little Hocking, Ohio, take Ohio Route 555 north for a little adventure on Ohio's answer for the Tail of the Dragon, the Triple Nickel. Maybe swing east again on Ohio Route 78 to the Ohio River at Clarington. North on 7 to where ever you wish to cross and onward from the, the third star to the left is possible. Good luck, keep the sun on your face and the wind at your back.
I have a second home in Lincoln Woodstock area. Great riding up there. Unless you want the crowds stay well north of Laconia. The farther north the nicer the riding. Consider Rt 93 to Rt 91 in Vermont. Beautiful ride north of Franconia Notch. Maybe even head into Canada and back via Errol NH. Mt Washington is challenging and very weather dependent.
On my garage wall is that famous decal "This bike climbed Mt Washington".
It's definitely a pucker factor ride up (and down) but worth it. Keep in mind that the temperatures can be radically different at the top. The day we were there it was 80* at the bottom and by the time we started down it was very windy and 47*. There were skiers on the next mountain over.
There's also a cool steam powered cog rail train that makes the trip up the mountain a couple of times a day. This one made it's last trip the day we were there. It was too expensive to maintain because every part for it had to be made as there are no more OEM parts available. They told us that they were planning of having it make one trip a day, at noon, but it was being replaced by new diesel powered locomotive.
