So we didn’t splurge while we were at
Whitehorse Gear. I was very close to
pulling the trigger on a throat mic made by Fox Industries, but decided to back
out. I figure that we spent the past
year without any communication headsets, why start now? There were a ton of goodies that would be
nice to have, but all the essentials we already own. Oh well, we didn’t get anything new and
exciting for our bikes, but at least we get to ride through the White
Mountains.
From North Conway, we took route 302 en
route to MZcountryboy’s place near Marshfield…
…and enjoyed the occasional twists and
turns.
We’re riding through green hills and
mountains then all of a sudden the road flattens and wham, the luxurious Mount
Washington Hotel comes into view with Mount Washington itself towering in the
backdrop.
Even though the GPS can no longer pick up a
signal, I can still use it to plot out routes and get directions. It no longer gives me real-time
directions. For some reason the GPS
directed us to take this road…
…that eventually disappeared into a forest. I remember MZcountryboy sent us an email
telling us not to use the GPS because it will lead us astray, but I had
forgotten about it at the time.
We plotted another route that avoided side
roads and made it to MZcountryboy’s place safe and sound
It was tricky finding his place in the dark
because he lived in a wooded area. Surely
we would’ve passed it if it wasn’t for MZcountryboy standing out in front of
his driveway to flag us in with his flashlight.
Here’s his GS sidecar rig I had mentioned
earlier about…
…and his project bike, which I think is
near completion if not already.
We met MZcountryboy’s wife who is an artist
and works from her studio here at the house
Amen sister!
We had these awesome quesadillas they had
made for supper and talked about MZcountryboy’s experience when he and his friend
took the ferry to St. Pierre et Miquelon when they were out east in
Newfoundland. St. Pierre et Miquelon is
a group of small islands near Newfoundland which is owned and governed by
France. Here’s the link to his ride

We all got a little silly after a few
drinks.
