Columbus Day ride - Parker Mtn and Bow Lake (pics)
Today I had the pleasure of riding with Tod Roger, an accomplished bike tourer and author of a book on riding the Lewis and Clark trail (see https://www.deerfootpublications.com/ for his book). He lives a few towns Southeast of me and had never ridden Parker Mountain, a local lung-buster in the area (relatively speaking). So we decided to climb Parker and ride around Bow Lake. Here are some more of those NH Fall colors for your enjoyment. 
For about a mile we got to ride on a well-packed dirt road.
Bow Lake
Enjoy,
Scott
