This is the 4th year for the Pewter Run. Sponsored by United States Classic Racing Associatiion (USCRA) and organized by Mark Gibson this is a unique event for vintage and antique motorcycles. Mark's brother crafts the unique pewter trophies and medals for which the event is named. It is very low key with an empahsis on having fun and enjoying these old and even ancient motorcycles. A scenic course is laid out for a fun ride and a cookout at the end for the riders

I left early in the morning from Cornish NH for the 35 mile ride to Hillsborough Center NH. It was a nice sunny day and riders kept arriving all morning. There was plenty of time to enjoy the bikes before they headed off on their ride around noon. I was able to take 700 photos before I headed home. I believe every bike in the event was photographed with 16 views and most of the visitor bikes as well. A CD of just this event is available. (CD 08_11) but all the photos are also avaiable on a CD with two other USCRA Road Runs (Motogiro spring and fall) for the same price (CD 08_15) with 3300 photos.
