    Solar Eclipse Ride 4-8-2024

    The title says it all .

    We’re riding.

    Monday 4-8-24

    Meet for breakfast at The Water Street Cafe 9-10 am for breakfast.

    141 Water Street Laconia, NH

    https://www.waterstreetcafenh.com/

    Kick Stands up for 10:15 .

    This exceptional ride to the darkness will take you on all secondary twisty roads into Franklin County,VT for the full 3:32 seconds of complete darkness.

    John boy and I are fully committed, so that makes two of us .

    Be nice if a few more riders would join us and have a go of it.

    Damnit. I have to fly to Chicago the afternoon of the 8th for a customer meeting.

    Thanks for organizing Timmy, I was really looking forward to this.

    No worries.

    Another time and place perhaps.

    Maybe you will get to fly thru the path of totality.

    The weather will be cloudy, traffic will be a nightmare. Do it.

    Weather could certainly be an issue , as for traffic , not really concerned.

    Since it is only John Boy and I going so far , we will be on our adventure bikes taking roads and trails the cagers have no idea exist .

    Make sure you get some cheap solar eclipse glasses from Amazon. They are super dark lens good for looking at the sun and watching the eclipse prior to full eclipse.

    Weather in northern NH can't reliably be predicted 3-days out, and even that's a stretch!
