Pick Your Route From A51 to Gorham!

As you know by now, the merged YC/A51 caravan will depart from Area 51 for Gorham at 2:00 pm. Instead of one large caravan, we have put together 4 different routes for separate mini-caravans to follow:

Route 1 - Direct to Gorham (~2.0 hrs)
Route 2 - Kanc/Bear Notch to Gorham (~2.5 hrs)
Route 3 - Golden Pond to Gorham (~3.0 hrs)
Route 4 - Polar Caves to Gorham (~3.5 hrs)

Click on the route names above to see PDF versions of the route maps and driving directions. More information about each route can be found at the YC/A51 web site on THIS page.

Please review each of these four routes and decide which one you would be interested in taking. Make sure you print-out the PDF so that you have the information with you in your MINI. The mini-caravans will depart in Route order starting at 2:00.

Leaders for the first three routes are as follows:

Route 1: Theo & Carol (Theo)
Route 2: Chip Slattery (chs4)
Route 3: Angus Crowe (Jet Panther)
Route 4: <leader needed>

Thanks!

Theo

Theo, any thoughts on breaking the groups up according to 'slow' and 'spirited'?

Well, the Kanc/Bear Notch Route comes to mind when I think "spirited".

However, an overriding concern on Friday will be the care needed for the traffic conditions that weekend. Remember that it is the last weekend of Bike Week and, traditionally, the roads are packed with folks going to and from the Laconia area. We have had an outstanding safety record over the last four years (the odd moose and porcupine notwithstanding) and I'd hate to see any of us take risks during the fifth year.

That being said, it will be up to the Route Leader to set the pace and expectations for their route. I will be leading the direct route and we will be traveling at a brisk but safe pace.

We were thinking the same thing, we'd be interested in meeting somewhere to make a mini MINI caravan to area 51 from the seacoast.

I think I am up for motoring on the third route as well. Not sure which MINI is coming with me for the weekend yet. Could be designated today. I look forward to my first MOT. Cheers,

The Kanc/Bear Notch Route will follow similar guidelines. While it won't necessarily be a "Sunday drive", it will be at a pace that is safe and comfortable for all involved.

If anyone hasn't noticed yet, Theo has posted some nifty route directions & map on the Yankee Candle site for the trip north to A51 from the Yankee Candle lot. Don't forget to print them off & bring them along!
