Americade 2000

My first Americade in 2000 was an adventure. I'd never ridden this far. I went a few days early and went up into NH and then back to Lake George. Rain was the letter of the day and went on and on. A McDonalds in NH gave me latex gloves to wear inside my gloves that were just soaked. Boots were not doing very well either.
Northern New Hampshire.
Staging area for tours.
Cheap motel in Saratoga Springs. Stayed here for several years of Americade.
Police drill team at Roaring Brook Ranch.
Covered Bridge tour. Note the yellow rain gear.
More yellow rain gear. Mine was lefover from the boating days and not really adequate.
Morning staging area for rides. This turned into very wet day for VT Ski Area ride.
After lunch it was pretty much over from the rain. I never saw a ski area.
Ferry Boat tour crossed the lake twice, once on a barge and once on larger car ferry.
Good lunch back on NY side of lake.
Great Escape
Great Escape - Comet
Expo area - bikes everywhere. Not raining at that time.
Inside the expo. Bikes waiting for some kind of installation - tires were common. I bought my Moto-lights here.
Looks like a keg party at Saturday morning parade. Those were trailers.
No comment.
Smallest bike in parade.
