Franconia Notch was also hidden in the clouds, no pictures here. On the way to Crawford Notch the Mount Washington Hotel was standing proud an impressive sight at the base of the presidential range.

Hey man, it's album time for sure.

From here Crawford Notch drops off rapidly going South. It's actually more impressive going North.

Hurricane Mountain Road is narrow, steep, and curvy, with almost no view to speak of, just trees. Don't pass it up! It will also get you over to Evans Notch Road, Maine Rt 113, a North South Rd through the Mountains, also in the clouds.

Back to the start of Saturdays ride the ATV's were running up and down the Main Street. This is supposed to bolster the economy, yet there are many empty commercial buildings. There was also lots of bikes, a toss up which group was nosier.

Late in the day, the clouds parted and there was a glimpse of Mt Washington.

Sunday greeted the ride with several hours of rain , which turned to Sun and 95 Deg temps in about 15 minutes. It was a good ride and Rally, I'll start planning for next year.

Ohio might be a good place for a Rally, where would you put it?

It would be great to have a bunch of C bikes rally at one of the BMW rallies....or a maxi-scooter rally.

Scooter rally in my playground! The bad news is I can't make it. The good news is I'll be at the Modernvespa MP3 rally in north Georgia.

Go nuts! Next on my radar is the Finger Lakes Rally in Watkins Glen over Labor Day weekend. Whether I make it on the C650GT this year or not remains to be seen...

Don't want to forget the BMW Riders Association. They're not quite as big as the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America, but they host rallies too:

Scooter rally in my playground!......

Yeah, and as you know, I've recently been down there. Spectacular part of the country to ride. In fact, when Kurt asked about where a good place in Ohio would be to have a rally, I actually was thinking Nashville area. OK, Nashville, is not Ohio, but looking at the member map and knowing what a great setting the area is.....
