Miss Jean, I have not yet planned anything definate. There is so much pretty countryside and I want to ride it all. I have hiked Mt. Monodnock frequently and like the back roads in and around Jaffrey and Peterborough. I once backpacked a section of the Appalacian Trail beginning in Hanover and that area is, again pretty and bucolic as befits an Ivy League school (Dartmouth). Then there are the notches. Beginning in Lincoln, then through Franconia Notch, then past Bretton Woods and down Crawford notch to N. Conway and finally across the Kancamamgus Highway back to Lincoln makes a fine but tough century which I would need two days to complete. I have a bookmark somewhere of N. Hampshire routes to begin studying. Perhaps you could put together a nice route for your Bikeforum friends.

2Many, I road from my place in Bristol to Barrington today and that much was clear of snow. I'm going to have another look in Art's bike shop to see what he may have available or can order. Earlier this winter I gathered what camping equipment I would take on a 3 to 4 day tour and it came to 18 lbs. not including food and water. Volume wise I believe it will all fit into 2000 to 2200 sq. inches of space.
