Here it is:
Saturday Morning leave from Boston by car (I can accomodate 4 bikes and 4 people in my vehicle, myself included) and drive threeish hours north to Lincoln, NH and ride an 80 mile loop East across the Kangamangus Hwy to North Conway, North up RT16 and West across RT302 returning through Franconia Notch and back to the car. Weather permitting this is a great (scenic as f***) ride and a challenge, we will be riding geared and should expect to complete it in 6 hrs or so, maybe faster? Who's down? Descents in excess of >>>>>50 MPH>>>>>>>>>>... whoosh fun!
con't:
Saturdays route: this is not a perfect trace of the actual roads to save your browsers from freezing.

Early start from Boston. 6:45AM from a mutually agreed location ... suggestions? The weather will be mint! BTW this is actually a 98 mile ride not 80 as I thought. There should be some pretty amazing views. I don't even want to discuss vertical travel. This is not gonna be easy.
edit: that last leg through Franconia notch is on a windy rollercoasterish bike path.
