Bike Week
This may not be the place for this question but I don't see the topic. I just heard that Bike Week is around Aug. 22 - 27. I plan on going to Wolfeboro for a few days that week. How is Wolfeboro impacted by the festivities? I know it's in Laconia but are bikers, families lodging in Wolfeboro? Would it be better to go the week before? Thanks for any advice. We are trying to avoid a crowd from all over.

Wolfeboro is not impacted significantly by Bike Week. There will be a few bikes that come through, but nothing to change the general feel. I'd say you'd have a few less people overall on your current week.

Towns generally hit the largest are Gilford, Laconia, and Meredith. Expect big delays getting through there.
After that Bike Week over the years has become more mid-state event running from Loudon to Waterville. And outside of the aforementioned 3 towns/cites just think busy Saturday traffic, but all week long. So Wolfeboro would just tend to be busier than normal for traffic, but not oppressive like Meredith/Laconia(Weirs)/Gilford. |
Judging from last nights meeting.. the Laconia City Council is having some serious reservations about Bike Week. They asked St. Clair about "what ifs" and were looking for contingency plans. Bike Week may not even happen this year!

The political make-up of the City Council will determine whether we have Bike Week. Those of us who want to see local businesses thrive are rooting for it to happen. |
I guess that's a yes! :(

Laconia City Council
After thinking about it, there may be a good chance that Bike Week will happen. Here is my guess as to the Councilors' vote on the issue:
Bruce Cheney, Ward 1, probably yes. David Bownes, Ward 2, probably no. Henry D. Lipman, Ward 3, probably no. Mark Haynes, Ward 4, probably yes. Robert Hamel, Ward 5, probably yes. Tony Felch, Ward 6, probably no. In the case of a tie, Andrew Hosmer breaks the tie. |

I would not bet either way on this.... it will depend on what is going on 3 weeks from now. they are on Youtube... 2:48 is when Hamel starts his speech. There are also other discussion throughout the meeting. You might need a copy of the agenda to find them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdRjZZ9i9Jc Woodsy |

Democrats are against "full throttle" openings for the reason I have already stated--full throttle is not thoughtful (or safe). The President made it political by ignoring his own scientific advisors, and then slinging all sorts of BS about 8 cases on the way to zero, vaccines in July, cures with no data that area actually dangerous, etc. The Democrats' position has been that we need to heed the scientific advisors. It's really sad when you equate following science as a political thing to do. I don't watch MSNBC or CNN, and I would not attend a political rally in this environment. The only prominent politician I have seen at a rally is Donald Trump. Ironically, his own team brought 8 infected people to that rally--providing a pretty good illustration of why the rally was a terrible thing to do. |

If it is acceptable to have rioters, looters, occupiers and destroyers give the finger to social distancing, wearing masks, and everything else associated with this Chinese coronavirus nonsense, then I think we can figure out a way to open all businesses ASAP and put America back to work. |

But back to reality--as you can see from the link, dozens of states are seeing cases still rising. The Republican Governor of Texas has (smartly) told local officials it's OK to restrict crowds more than the state already has. The Republican Governor of Florida is threatening to shut down restaurants that operate at "full throttle" to use your term. The bummer about science, data, facts, logic, etc, is that they tend to prove out in the end, much more than hopes, dreams, and political BS https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/06/...texas-arizona/ |

I'm a lifelong Democrat and I think Baker is doing a great job.
Why? Because he bases his decisions on science, logic, and research. Not his gut. I don't care that he's not in my party. He makes decisions based on what he feels is best for the state of Massachusetts, not what is best for him. I respect his guidelines and don't feel personally diminished by them. It's for the common good. |

I am and my family for generations have been Republications. We have voted for the best Republican candidate we felt would continue the right direction for our country. The Republican party today has turned a corner and gone in a absolute total different direction that our ancestors would be in disbelief..My friends tell me the party has left you in the dust....move on and try to hang on to something better...if there can be anything better. I will unfortunately be voting Democrat this time around. Good luck America... |
