Happy Trails!
Charlie St. Clair -
Sure, the street scene is cool with bikes of every make and model. And the entertainment scene is easily mes- merizing with beautiful dancers and hot music, but the real reason you’re here is to ride! Whether you choose to head to the White Mountain, around the Lakes Region, Monadnock area or the Seacoast; you’ll find that New Hampshire has some of the best riding roads in the northeast so, take advantage of them! If you’re looking for some riding ideas, join a Gypsy Tour or charity ride or grab a State of NH Highway Map WITH suggested motorcycle rides included – forget the GPS!
Below, I’ve listed one of my regular routes to add to your list.
First things first – Ride smart, watch out for animals, don’t speed and for the love of all– ride sober! One final reminder – we are not responsible for any mishaps along the way or...the weather!
Now – onto the ride!
Leaving Laconia from the east, take State Route 11 and stay on that until US Route 202 heading west. Stay on this road until you come to US Route 4 West, which will take you to State Route 106 North back to Laconia. This isn’t a long ride but with stops along the way, I would plan for three hours, round trip. For a longer ride, grab the State of NH Highway Map or join one of our FREE Gypsy Tours from Rally Headquarters!
Ride safe and happy trails! H

Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval
In your travels around the country,
you may have seen a round sticker with the
phrase “Schultz Approved” on the doors of
the establishments. If it is a restaurant or
lounge, you can feel safe knowing that you will be well received and happy with the overall service. Just because an establishment doesn’t have a Schultz Approved sticker doesn’t mean that it will not be a pleasant experience. However, seeing the sticker of approval is almost as good as a money-back guarantee.
