Lincoln, Woodstock, Warren...a morning fling along the western White Mountains, New Hampshire
Rather than just rushing "up the Kanc" to the east, here's an early morning loop on the historic Warren-Woodstock Rd.
Straight out of the '50s....Aluminum! (yeah, they REALLY say that over here!)
exterior, trims and dark-red vinyl galore.
Plain Jane it ain't!
Country Road Art..
" Lean on me..."
Shoo-whappa-dappa-doo....some belly-surfing for the battery pack of the Prius...
Enough of this...there's the "Kanc" and the White Mountains waiting for us....right over there!
Having read so much about it, the Kancamagus is a bit of a let-down.
This isn't a bike road at all... but a slightly curvy express-road for 1960's Cadillacs with wet-sponge suspension and Firestone whitewalls, hmmm...
No doubt though, the scenery makes up for it!
The narrower, steeper and twistier Bear Notch Pass across to Bartlett on the other hand....now we're talking!
Still far too wide + smooth for proper "thumper-scratching", this one's perfect GS/Strom/Tiger etc hunting ground. Leave that monstrous Toyota battery pack at the side of the road.... and we'd have ourselves some fun.

Some tyre-kicking by the "Fat Controller"
She's looking a bit flat, mate....
Yeah, really...by about that much!!
Bollox....I'll drop somethin' on your funny hat while you're not lookin', yer clown!
What ya just say???
I think I'll better kick 'em again...grumble, mumble....
Now, shovel some coal, yer mug!!
Back to the Bear Notch and the "Kanc"....
