2018 The Gap and Notch Tour: A Ramble through New England

Saturday June 23, 2018  –  Saturday June 30, 2018

 Greetings and welcome to the Gap and Notch Tour. This year’s ride will have the LRLR wandering through the farmland, mountains, and countryside of New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The Notches will provide the twisting roads, the Gaps will give us the sweepers, and in-between we’ll have country lanes, covered bridges, and farmland.
