This will be a short post today. Also there will be no pictures for the usual reasons, namely; I can't ride and take pictures and I was afraid the camera would rust or freeze or both.
We left the Laconia, NH area about 7:00 in the morning. I noticed the bike wasn't shifting as it should, and discovered I was down a quart of oil. I'll need to check that out when we get back.
Although the first part of the day was dry, in about 100 yards it began to rain... and rain... and rain. It's so pleasant riding in rubberized rain gear on a muggy morning. I shouldn't have complained, because the humidity soon gave way to rather, shall we say, brisk weather. Once into the mountains, all three of us fully expected snow squalls.
The roads we took were beautiful, taking us through some of the most classically New England countryside you could imagine... beautiful rivers, stone fences, imaculate white clapboard homes with well kept gardens. If an artist were to create a image of New England, these places would be included.
The afternoon cleared and we concluded our riding day in cool, but sunny weather, ending up in Binghamton, NY. Our destination was going to be Saracuse, NY, but in the Albany area we decided to take route 6 west along the top of PA. That is our planned route for tomorrow. As a side note, we missed a turn and ended up in the very north west corner of MA, in the Berkshires. Not far out of our way, but a beautiful ride on some terrific motorcycle roads.
