Vermont at Night in the Rain

We made it into Vermont before it started raining again
Gary and I pulled into a gas station for shelter and realized Steve wasn't with us
Our Garmins are not waterproof so we decided to change into our rain gear and sit tight until he showed
I went in to the deli affiliated with the gas station looking for some plastic wrap for the GPS and came out with a green plastic hair net
We were just about to backtrack looking for Steve when he pulled into the gas station
He had stopped at the previous gas station to change into his rain gear
He did wonder why we didn't miss him though
This picture was taken when we stopped to pull out the paper maps after 2 Garmins attempted to run us into an embankment
Once we got the route figured out it really started to rain
The rest of the ride was quite stressful through the hills in the dark in the rain trying to navigate looking through a green hair net on my GPS
We got to the hotel at 12:30 after riding around Laconia for half an hour looking for it

Leaving Lake George


It did stop raining but by then it was starting to get dark
We had to get gas and get on the road
I'm exhausted at this point

Americade !

It felt good to get off the bikes
We walked the strip and checked out everyone elses bikes
We were mosying but we knew we couldn't stay too long since we had a way to go to get to Laconia
Problem: it started raining   argh
Plan: let's grab dinner and hope it stops


Arriving in Lake George

Here we are in Lake George after riding north. We encountered stop and go traffic on the way which really delayed us and wore out my clutch hand

Fateful Decision

We stopped at Dunkin Donuts because it was decision time; do we detour north to Lake George to catch Americade or continue east to Laconia

I wanted to check out Americade since we were so close but I think Steve and Gary were indifferent

After the GPS said it would only add 25 minutes to our route we decided to go to Americade

Our happy time was close to ending


Another Rest Stop

Here we are at another rest stop
We're starting to look a little weary
