Finally it is Tuesday and we headed back to the coast via car for a tour of the Hamptons, eat some great seafood for lunch, and then they dropped us at BMW. We had a few last minute items to deal with for the bikes and then the bill! They threw in some t shirts, stickers, and some fuel line cleaner.

We set out west on the 101 and then on the toll 95 to get back to Concord in a hurry. From here we rode north on the 3, which winds thru small NH towns. We managed to get as far as Plymouth by 630 and found a small family run motel for the night.

Today we have a route that includes 3 of "the best motorcycle roads in NH”.

We headed first into Plymouth town and to UPS to get our cancelled Carnets sent back to the Swiss Motoring Association so we can get our bond funds back! Then to the car wash for a quick spruce up.

We rode west on the 25/ 118 to Warren and then onto Lincoln. This is a cute town with several souvenir shops and an old general store. We then did a detour north on the 93 to the Old Man of the Mountain historic site (the natural “face” has apparently eroded and fallen off said mountainside) .

We backtracked on the 93 and then hit the famous Kancamagus highway. This is a windy swerving road thru the White Mountain Forrest. There is another motorcycling side road on the Bear Notch pass to Bartlett.

We are staying tonight at the home of Peter who had messaged us from our ADV RR. He was kind enough to offer us a place to stay, but also to have a few things shipped to his house. He is a super nice guy who is a newer rider , but a keen ADV member! It was great to share some stories with him and to listen to his adventure plans.

It poured rain all night, but the sun was out in the morning. We are headed today to the Maine cottage of some friends we met on the Camino in 2016. We set out from Peter's the 4 miles to the famous Fort William lighthouse.

The forecast for today is cloudy and cooler and so we had an hours drive 9 miles past Monson to the trail head and then a hike up Borestone mountain for a panoramic view.

This is a super picturesque village on the sea that is full of tourists and LOBSTER! We checked into the inn and headed into the village harbor. The place is mobbed with people and so we walked up the side streets to find a place for a drink and some shrimps for happy hour. We had also reserved a table at a classic lobster place with a view for later.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
