To be honest, I'm glad I was on my Husaberg and
have huge respect for the savage who rode his Hon-
da Africa Twin at a swi clip the en re day. You, sir,
are a beast!
A er passing through the towns of Topsham,
Corinth, Washington, and Vershire, we were treat-
ed to a delicious catered lunch at the Tunbridge
Fairgrounds. With full bellies, our group was led
back along two-track Jeep roads with tree-shaded
canopies and some more sweet Class 4 roads with a
number of rocky ledge hill climbs through the towns
of Strafford and West Fairlee, winding back to New-
bury, where we crossed the bridge and returned to
the N. Haverhill Fairgrounds, logging 137 miles in
total. Mud Sweat and Gears was a blast and I'm hap-
py to report all 15 riders made it through without a
single flat or nasty crash. That's a successful ride in
anyone's book!
With epic rains falling immediately a er dinner,
most re red early and rested up for another day of
fun and adventure. I'd decided to spend Friday visit-
ing vendors and taking advantage of the many test
bikes available, with my first test of the day being
the Honda Africa Twin.
