Hi folks,
I'm sorry for the delay in putting together this ride idea. It has been a very busy summer for me so far, but now I'm getting organized...
My thought is that I'd like to propose a ride either Saturday, July 20th or Sunday July 21st--depending on the response I get. So please post a quick response so I can see what date works best.
Secondly, I'd like to keep the ride open to ideas for now. We definitely want to hit the Kancamagus Highway (including the "notorious" Bear Notch cutoff). But take a look at the list below and respond to the options if you can (I'd like to gauge enthusiasm):
- Canon Mt (Franconia Notch) Gondola ride for sightseeing, very nice, but not good for those afraid of heights!
- Polly's Pancake Parlor. My favorite place for brunch, in Sugar Hill NH.
- Lunch at The Balsams (I should just be kidding about this one--it guarantees a 500 mile day! )
- Lunch at The Mount Washington Hotel
- Drive up the Mount Washington Auto Road...want to check out those radiators and brakes? I'm up for it.
- Take the Cog Railway up Mount Washington
- Any other suggestions? We should have a lunch location and another diversion of a couple hours to make the ride complete.
Thanks, and I hope to see you in a couple weekends!
- Charlie
