After my ride with Mike up to Evans Notch (only to find it gated!) I have found a few more resources for ride planning to join Omar's sticky on TOB:
White Mountain National Forest (Kank, Evans Notch, Rt. 113, etc.)

Oh come on! We were having lunch in Sandwich and saw it tucked up there on the map -- 113 is sweet anyways though ... [moto]
Anyways, on the plus side the Kank had a whopping 4 cars on it the entire way across [evil]

What does "stove to hell" mean?
On another note. Watching weather underground today showed Groton at 117!!!!
Not sure what was going on with them, but it was about 70 at the time...
What does "stove to hell" mean?
wrecked, nfg, broke, anything but good.
all stove up =
Quote from: Urban Dictionary
Stove Up
Swollen and badly bruised. Phrase primarily in rural, folk or country use in the USA. Often used to refer to an eye that is so swollen and black (usually due to a fist punch), it appears closed over.
How would an urban dictionary know what something used in the country meant? [roll]
Because it's edited by regular people, just like wiki. Are you saying they don't have the internet in the country?

Of course not...

It didn't rain in April...
It will at some point, so May is it.
Maybe not in your area, but it rained here...
When did this become the weather thread?
The roads are wet. Better?

Sat. 1/23/10
Ma. south coast into R.I. Pretty good. Rain washed away most of the salt. Sunny, 40deg. when we left, 28 when we got home at dusk. Cold tires, sandy corners and frost heaves made it interesting. More tomorrow.
GET OUT AND RIDE!
;D

Of course they are...
it's snowing. ;)
a sign to warn for wicked slippery? for real?
isn't that what skid tests are for?
skid test: on a straight section of road, test the skid factor by hitting the brakes in a controlled slide
that sign was blown over by the 70 mph winds on Thursday night, and washed away by the torrential rains.
its replacement was covered in heavy wet snow, and then hit by a huge falling tree.
the mangled wreckage then burned to the ground when the power lines on that road came down, starting the only winter wild fire in NH history.

VT Rt 232 through Grotton State Park has been repaved - went from one of the worst roads in the state to one of the best.
Links to 302 which has some new surface, Rt 25 nearby was an excellent twistie ride.
Hooks on to Rt5 which is nice, it follows I91 so it also lacks traffic.
