Well, us polar bears did indeed meet for lunch! We met just south of Manchester, NH, then took a brief tour of secondary roads that included lake and farm roads leading to lunch for everyone but Dennis who had breakfast. The day started unseasonably warm with sunshine and ended warm with cloud cover. No matter, it was another Fine Day Out. This has been one of the best winters ever (unless someone skies or is into snowmobiling).
This is stark and barren season here in the NE so the following pictures are more of the farms and country side than the normally beautiful scenery.
As the day starts while riding to the meeting spot:
Leaving Sandown, NH.
Approaching Manchester, NH.
Arriving at the meeting location. Notice where Tony, a heavy smoker chose to stop and have a smoke..... Yikes!
Dennis rolls in. From here we leave for a ride ending in lunch. The ride started with sunny clear skies but ended in nearly 100% overcast skies.
The ride arrives at Lindy's Gourmet Deli.
We all had a good laugh or two while getting 'undressed' for lunch.
As typical, by the time someone thinks to take food porn shots the food is gone. No food pixs here, but let me assure you that various food plates were gulped down ravenously. When us Nerds eat, we eat! And so ends a most magnificent January ride. If winters in New England were all like this it would be perfect. I'm looking forward to next week where it looks like I can continue to ride to work.
