DAY-3 26 April (Center Harbor, NH to Middlebury, VT)
I guess he was contemplating what we 2-legged nuts were up to!!
General view of our workplace for a week
From Conway, we enter the beautiful White Mountain National Forest and ride the spectacular Kancamagus Highway, which is a bikers delight with its twists, turns and long sweepers all on a nice sunny day. There is a fast flowing stream that accompanies us and there are a few scenic lookouts at one of which we stop to take in the scenery & some pics. If you wonder amidst all the English names, where does Kancamagus fit in? Well going back to history, Kancamagus (which in native means- The fearless One) was one of the most notable & feared leaders of the Pennacook Indians. He relentlessly fought the English settlers in the 1600s and this highway is named after him.

Back to the present, the Kancamagus highway terminates at Lincoln, but we continue on this Rt 112 passing the small towns of North Woodstock, Lost River & Swiftwater after which a nice white & green board welcomes us into the state of Vermont. As we ride deeper into Vermont, the beauty of this place starts captivating us. It reminds us of a milder version of the European interior parts with the abundant greenery, smooth rolling hills, meadows, streams, pine trees. We are on Rt 302 and the wells river is accompanying us on the right. We soon turn left southwards on the I-91 and head towards Bradford after which we turn right thru some inner roads towards the direction of Chelsea.
Along the way came across these hardcore easyriders!
Always a friendly wave to road crews as our gratitude for maintaining our biking playground
What on earth is that ferocious looking thing???
Distance travelled 204 miles

. I guess we both had different expectations from such a trip and with very little planning it was natural at some point some steam had to be let off. Anyway, we leave the serene Lake George town & hit the road in a south east direction back towards Vermont. After some miles and some more clearing up of hearts, throats & sweet talks on the intercom, things get back to normal, and the intercom is suddenly active & lively again
