Bike Week in New Hampshire averages up to 400,000 bikers and visitors. The counts for 2010 aren't in yet. next year from June 11-19, 2011. One of the activities is cruising the lake. We hear the motorcycles buzzing by on Route 109.

Cruising the lake

There is no other way to say it, Lake Winnipesaukee is one of the most scenic lakes in the world. Covering almost 69 square miles, Lake Winnipesaukee’s stretch of pristine water harbors hundreds of islands and numerous towns and villages. During your Bike Week Adventure, either by car or Harley, make it a point to cruise the circuit running the perimeter of the lake. Your trip will take you through quaint harbor towns like Meredith and Wolfeboro. Each village and town has its own character as well as numerous restaurants and stores to visit. The scenic stretches of road running higher up the mountainside will open up panoramic views of dark blue lakes and rolling green mountain spanning out as far as the eye can see.

The motorcycles line up in front of many of the venues in Wolfeboro. Here, they are infront of Garwoods restaurant.
