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.
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.
Be prepared for lots of traffic delays and expensive car parking
($20) when trying to drive an auto to this area.
I rode my BMW K75 over Friday afternoon June 16. As expected the area was
packed with bikes. I parked ($10) down by the beach and photographed until
late afternoon in great weather.
