Tomorrow Is a Long Time...Day 32...Amsterdam to Keene, NH...Weds 25/05/11

Today's (well, yesterday's by the time you get this) run was billed as a tough day at 120 miles and over 7000' of climbing, and they weren't wrong either, hah-hah!
It was weirdly enjoyable though, possibly because of the beautiful views we got as we travelled through the three states of New Yok, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Is Al Wright moonlighting over here? Bless you!


No, no time to investigate...






Another state, another daft pose...


Keeping it old school...and abandoned.


Well, we did earn the descents: at last I managed to get just over 50 mph on the contraption. Must be all that pasta...



We passed through a few picturesque small towns all gearing-up for Memorial Day, which is next Monday...


Supercharged? Super tired, maybe...




I took a wrong turn and ended-up on the Interstate for a few miles but it was no biggy...was pleased to get away from it, mind...


Great to see a Shakey fan in the house...


Sounds more like the motto of a Hells Angels chapter...


 I know...carry on...


Does look fine round here...


Mark and myself struggled in together for the last few miles: our final hill before arriving in Keene. Excellent!


Post-ride, Ohio Bob was given a spoof present of a knackered saddle to reflect the antique nature of his bike. He still goes faster than most. As he would say, "Go figure."


With the legend and also mechanic Jim for a pre-meal schooner...rehydration!


Wow! Is this really almost done? Yeah, I bet you're more relieved than me, hah-hah!
Time to go and finish it shortly...cheers!


Get them while you can...Last but one..
