Road Bike Ride Around Winni

I grew up around the lake (guess where), and always wanted to ride around the lake. Finally decided to do it last Friday. A little hot and sticky, but took the bike off the roof @ Patrick's Pub in Gilford, headed north through Weirs, Meredith, Centre Harbor, got off the bike for a rest in Moultonboro near the Woodshed, through Melvin Village and Tuftonboro (109 was the worse stretch between 25 and Wolfeboro-bad pavement and no shoulder), took a break in Cate Park Wolfeboro, another break at the public docks in Alton, then got back to the car around 7 PM. 4 hours riding time, 62 miles total, about 4.5 hours overall. Great time, but I might do it on an early morning instead. The traffic got a little intense in places.
Never realize it when driving, but there are some mean hills out there...especially when the legs are burning near the end!
Next I would like to ride between Lincoln and North Conway on the Kanc, then back around on 302 (I think that's the route).
