Great rally with vendors, demo rides and a nice area. And definitely do Mt. Washington!

I'm hoping to make it there this year. It would be my 1st time also. My wife has family about 45 minutes south of Laconia and they always offer me a place to stay if I go.
Americade is in Lake George the week before Laconia and I may try to get to that also.

As a longtime participant in the Americade rally on my Goldwing from 2001 through to 2006, I can tell you it is a very different today.
I went last year. First it used to be mostly Goldwings today it is mostly Harley Davidsons. Second to me it is about half the size it used to be, including half the vendors.
But still great riding area and good rally.

Try to checkout the Kancamagus Highway (Hwy 112). The eastern end is just west of Conway, NH. It’s western end is at North Woodstock, NH.
North for a bit on 93 takes you through Franconia Notch, past where Old Man of the Mountain used to be until his face fell off a few years back, then on to the small town of Littleton. There use to be a Harley shop there. Then east out of Littleton on Hwy 302 is another great ride to Glen, NH where the Mt Washington Auto Road starts. Be sure to check weather conditions on the mountain before taking this road, it makes no difference how nice it is before you start up. The wind on the mountain can be fierce (I live in Colorado, and still greatly respect this road).

Conitinuing back east on 302 you’ll come to Conway, NH. This is considered an “Outlet shopping” mecca in this area. Then go southeast on Hwy 16 to West Ossipee. Take Hwy 12 west through Meredith and then Hwy 3 south to Laconia.

You may want to ride this strait through for a long day, or pick a place like Littleton to stay overnight along the way, or maybe closer to Mt. Washington along 302.

I grew up in the northeast, use to go to the Laconia run in the late 70’s. It’s been a decade since being back there, but this loop was always a favorite.

We do the route 112 loop 3/4 times a year, just awesome. During bike week they close all car traffic to the top of Mt Washington for a day. I heard they had 1700 bikes climb it that day in 2017

I went to Laconia last year. The event mostly catered to Harley. Wiers Beach was packed with bikes. There is a shuttle that will pick you up from your hotel for $5 bucks per person each way. Well worth it. Especially if you want to put away a couple of cold ones. The Police are out in force. Word to the wise. Stay within the speed limit. They set up speed traps and they will ticket you. I seen it 3 times and tickets were being issued. Make it a point to go to the top of Mt Washington. Dress warm about a 25 to 30 deg difference in temp at the top. Also the road is very narrow. Be careful going up and down. We did a lot of riding on our own and took our time to enjoy the views. We also rode to Maine for Lobster. We had rain one day. But the pollen was off the the hook. Bike was green every day. All in all we had a good time.
