Rainy Weekend..... Reminiscing

April showers...
I guess I cannot complain too much. This has been a pretty dry April so far.
Still...a cold wet weekend sucks. Even if you don't ride, it would be nice to do some lawnwork or gardening or just be outside.

When we went to Laconia last year, the ride down was perfect...sunny and nice. We hit the New Hampshire border and off came the helmets. Going out for dinner, (in Lincoln...home of the world famous Profile Motel !! )I just put on my vest over a t shirt and headed out. Was awesome.

We woke up Saturday to pouring rain...like really pouring.
In the photo below, we had been out riding for 4 hours in the pouring rain, and were in Laconia checking out the merch at all of the stalls.
We are smiling, but all of us were soaked right to the bone.

When we got back to the room, everything we had needed to be dried out..the room stank like wet boots and leather.


Nicest part of the day



Me,  Brent and Dan


 
Wet stuff everwhere

Dinner time was another adventure...nobody delivers food.
We could pay with Visa over the phone and then pay a cab to go get it for us....or not !
Put our wet boots back on ( we put our feet in plastic bags 1st. so our socks didn't get wet......we looked like really bad losers ) and walked 15 minutes up the road to a little Italian place . Wasn't fancy, but cheap, hot and tasty.

Got home..turned the heat up 90 deg. to dry our stuff ...and went to bed.

The next day's adventures are tomorrow's blog.

 Bet you can't wait  !!!
