Rice-o-rama
Nice riding today... out to N. Brookfield and rice-o-rama. Bikes came in and out of this event like waves at the ocean. It was wonderful to see.
and then off to Sunderland and Bub's BBQ (www.bubsbbq.com) for lunch.
Only 83 miles today, but it was a good time.

2-up ride to Huntington, MA
From Belchertown, MA we took Bay Road to rte 47 and then rte 9.
We met up with Dan and Patti just north of Look Park in Leeds, MA.
Drove north on rte 9 to Williamsburg, MA and turned left on rte 143. These were all fairly mild roads and easy driving.
At Worthington, MA we turned south on rte 112. There is a lot of beautiful countryside down this road... at points hilly and sometimes serpentine.
Just in Huntington, MA we turned off on Littleville Road and went to the LittleVille Dam for a scenic break.
Leaving there, we back tracked to Montgomery Road and headed to Montgomery, MA and then on to North Road to the north side of Westfield, MA.
From there we go on to rte 10 North and back tracked thru Southampton, Easthampton and then Northampton, MA ... where we stopped for a bite to eat at Fitzwilly's.
Then it was back to Belchertown the way we came out.
A total of 96 miles over the 5 hours.

Riding up North for a little relaxation time with Dan and the wife
We took Bay Rd to rte 9 in Hadley and met Dan on Damon Road in Northampton by the River. At the end of Damon we went straight on Bridge Road and just kept going.
Nice woods and farm country riding. Small hills.
This brought us past the the Northampton Mountain St Reservoir,then thru Whately and then to the Upper Reservoir.
Up by Conway, we turned right onto rte 116 South. This was hilly and winding and beautiful. Nice riding when you want a little fun on the roads.
We took 116 to South Deerfield and then to Sunderland, where we turned onto rte 47 heading south back to Hadley. This is thru mainly farming community and very spread out. Some winding road, but very minor.
Rte 47 took us back to Bay Road, but not before we parted company with Dan at rte 9.
Overall, from Belchertown and back, it was 64 miles and just over 2 hours.

Stafford Springs Motorcycle Swap meet
A very lackluster turnout in Stafford this time. I have never seen such a minimal turnout for the swap meet.
Did see a couple of old Harleys:
And a possible frame for Mark....
