Laconia Bike Week is a huge annual June motorycle event in central New Hampshire that includes races at the New Hampshire International Speedway. Bikers from all over the country converge on the area for a week of fun and festivities much like Daytona Bike Week only the hills and curves of central New Hampshire are much more fun to ride on than the flat straight Florida highways. Weirs Beach is a little tourist town on huge Lake Winnipesaukee. It is on Route 3 at the bottom of a hill when heading south where a bridge crosses the inlet to Paugus Bay which stretches many miles towards Laconia. There is a drive-in theater right there that is taken over as a huge vendor area. And the main street along the lake called Lakeside Avenue has a boardwalk and piers along it. This is where bikers like to cruise up and down and park their bikes much like Main Street Daytona. During certain periods all car traffic is kept off that stretch of Route 3 and Lakeside Avenue and bike riders rule. Be prepared for lots of traffic delays and expensive car parking ($20) when trying to drive an auto to this area.

I visited Wiers Beach on Sunday June 19th. This was the last day of bike week but you couldn't tell that by the number of bikers. Perhaps because the weather was so nice everyone was holding off heading for home.
