[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 631612, member: 3828"] +1 I just got back from a little recon mission in that area. I had a dual purpose as I also made it a shake-down for the newly tuned-up Trumpet. She ran quite good. :) One thing about the Trophy's suspension being so (touring) soft ( [B]not[/B] [I]sport[/I] touring) it sure makes the raggedy back roads of New Hampshire far more bearable... ;) Almost like when I was riding the dual sport Pegaso over the same roads. Bump? What bumps? :unsure: But you're right, Alan, I went over Forest Rd and County bridge and that stretch of road is pretty fargen rough. Luckily it's short and not on the (actual) route. But here, my friends, is the [U][I]really good news[/I][/U]! The bottom half of Rt 137 is being repaved! :yahoo: I actually cut that segment out from the ride last year because is was so rough. But they have repaved it from Jaffrey on up about half of the way to Rt 101 and it appears to be an active work project, so hopefully they will continue on up all the way to Hancock before our ride. In any case, that section is definitely back in! :yahoo: Thanks for the [S]bait[/S] pictures Alan. I knew you and Helen took some of your typically stellar photos last year, but couldn't readily find them in the ride reports. But the color will be even better this year... I just know it!! [/QUOTE]
