Alrighty then...

This is the kind of weather forecast I can get behind!!
Note those zeroes after the precipitation percentages for Saturday and Sunday!! :yahoo:

PS - I have uploaded updated versions of the GPS files for this ride.
They are at the same links as previously mentioned in post #1.
These files have the combined Saturday's and Sunday's routes as well as the bonus route from Hopkinton to Goffstown on Saturday after the bridges.

Just got another forecast for the weekend. The Foliage Color forecast says that as we go west and north we will be enjoying moderate to moderate/high foliage color.

I am planning on making this ride but don't wait up for us if we aren't there in time for KSU. We will catch up along the way if we don't see you there.

Why do I not doubt this? I only ponder if you'll have any reflectors left when we do meet up. :P

Going to be a while before I can live that one down. ;) All I needed was another inch or so.

If the weather holds up, I'll be camping at Greenfield S.P. you know, under the yellow tarp!!! :lol:

Fred, this weekend looks awesome! I am still planning to be at Greenfield S.P. See you Saturday am :)
This is my FJR. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My FJR is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My FJR, without me, is useless. Without my FJR, I am useless. I must ride my FJR true. I must ride faster than my enemy who is trying to race me. I must beat him before he wins. FJR creed, learn it, live it!

That's great, Al.
It's suppose to be nice weather all weekend and considerably warmer than it is today. Should be a great weekend to camp out.


For those riders headed over to the Covered Bridges ride from the Manchester, NH area, on Saturday morning we can meet up and ride on over to Fiddleheads together across a few nice roads.

There is a big Irving / Circle K gas station, complete with a Dunkin Donuts, not too far from the intersection of Routes 101 and 114 in Bedford. The address is 8 White Avenue in Bedford. On Google maps, it's right here.

If we meet there at a little before 8AM, it's roughly 40 minutes over to Hancock from there, and we should still have enough time to grab a little breakfast at Fiddleheads when we get there before it's KSU for the Bridges.

And hey... Don't forget your cameras!!

Updated the list. It's beginning to look like it's Dennis' style to post that he is coming about 30 minutes after KSU, and then plan to meet us half way in Keene a la Woodsman ;) :lol:
