Pack your rubbers for Laconia..

Just a heads up for all those making the run to Laconia. Looks like plenty of days with rain at least till Thursday. Then cloudy low 80's. Have fun and ride safe. Wouldn't be bike week without rain I guess.

Geez ... It's Laconia ... You really didn't expect it to be dry did you?? I think it's rained for 10 years straight!

I lived in NH for years, always went to bike week. Some years it was rainy and cold, some years hot as hell. One particular year we rode up in sunny warm weather and spent the day watching a cold front move in. When the rain started we went to the beer tent to wait it out, LOL. Many hours (and beers) later the sun was down, the temps had dropped at least 40 degrees and the rain was not letting up. That was the longest, coldest ride home, took me two days to shake off the chills. Lots of fun though....!

Pack your rubbers? Hell ya, pack your rubbers! On the other hand Mike Douglas will tell you that they don't offer complete protection unless you slip one over your glossal!
