My friend Mike Fritz has always wanted to ride to Mount Washington. He jokingly said that now that I am a “Real Motorcyclist” that I should go with him. He did not want to ride alone. 

This sounds like a beautiful plan and I therefore got right on it with my Garmin Base Camp to plan the ride.

I have chosen country roads with no interstates. The ride should be gorgeous. It is a 6-Hour ride (without stretch and pee breaks). It will most likely be an all day ride.

If anyone wants to link up on the way, let me know.

Tentative Date

• Leave on Friday July 25th, 2014 – 6:00 AM
• Return Sunday July 27th, 2014 – 5:00 PM
