phpaul Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Finally got a ride in. It's either been too hot, too wet or too many more important things to do. Today was perfect. Low-to-mid 70's, few puffy clouds. Planned a route to hit a couple of roads that I've never been on and it went perfectly. First and last part were on roads I've ridden a couple of hundred times just to get to my starting point and back, but the middle was gorgeous. Beautiful countryside, decent roads (a couple of them newly paved!) and very little traffic. Rode a shade over 200 miles between 10:00AM and 3:00PM, so pretty relaxed pace. Stayed in B mode and just putted along 40-50mph for the bulk of it. Got a personal best mileage of 50.6 calculated at fill up. I typically get 43 if I've been having fun, 46/7 on routine riding.

nhchris Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Nice loop. How was the summer traffic on Rt1? It's crazy down south here along the NH coast right now. cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okietgtrider Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Nice ride. Weather in the 70's sounds real nice to me. Sweltering here in OK today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpaul Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Nice loop. How was the summer traffic on Rt1? It's crazy down south here along the NH coast right now. cb Amazingly, it was quite light. Normally, I avoid coastal Route 1 for just that reason. It helped that I was already North/East of Camden by the time I got back on Route 1. Even Searsport was a breeze and it's usually a 3 mile long parking lot due to tourist traffic and the ****ing flea markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
