[QUOTE="zip, post: 652880, member: 14732"] Terribly sorry for those who won't make the 10th. (I'm still unlikely, but haven't been able to confirm.) However, for those able to join on that date, Saturday's rain-out may not be a bad thing... I'm absolutely certain the color hasn't peaked yet. I made a 300 mile loop today up around Lake Winnipesaukee. That's mostly 30-40 miles northeast of much of the Bridges ride, though I was within 10 miles at one point. And honestly, there really wasn't [I]that[/I] much color yet. There were a few trees really dramatically "afire," but on balance, everything was still really green. According to [URL="https://foliage.visitnh.gov.ns1www.silvertech.net/index-flash.html"]this Flash-based map, next weekend may be far better[/URL]. (The map wasn't terribly accurate for today, but the color will still improve with a little aging.) Another note: I'm still a rookie in this region. I went on [URL="https://www.newenglandriders.org/Great%20Routes%20and%20Rides/Ride%20Information.htm"]New England Riders[/URL] to choose this route, and was fairly unimpressed with the tour (compared to our White & Green Mountains route a few weeks back. Wow!) I've got to remember to make routes that stay primarily off the main, numbered highways, which are generally congested and boring. (I did find some great roads, and ended up on some dirt today, though! Thought of you, Mike & George.) Hoping I can make the Bridges ride with all of you. I think you're going to love it. [/QUOTE]
