Overnight Club Ride to Colebrook, NH

Fourteen Machines and sixteen riders took a 140 mile round-a-bout route to the Colebrook House in Colebrook, NH. Starting at the home of Sherry St. Onge we traveled to West Glover, Sheffield, Burke, Kirby, Bloomfield, and up to Colebrook. We stopped along the trail for a hot dog roast mid day. Four more family members met us at the Colebrook House, so in all we had a party of 20 in our group. Everyone was really tired from our long day, but the weather was perfect and we had a great day. With a pending snow storm arriving, we took a more direct route home and managed about 70 miles, coming home through Canaan and Derby. Enjoy the pictures, they tell the story.
