Shameless cross post from Rounders (http://www.yearroundriders.com)

Easter is winding down and the kids have gone to their mom's house. It was a marvelous Easter with family and friends. Now there was an opportunity to grab a quick sunset spin. I have a new backrest on my bike and I was looking forward to trying it out some more.

New backrest.
Hmm, I think the Easter Bunny has been here. It was nice of him to leave me this snack. :)

I thought I would just take a quick spin over to Hollis. I saw this nice Apple Orchard on the way. It looked like a nice photo op.
It won't be long before the apple blossoms will be out

These benches soon will be used by beach goers enjoying a nice lunch.

You have to watch out for Frost Heaves this time of year. These warnings help.

Amherst Country Club. Still too much snow for golf.

I started losing sun fast and the temperature was dropping. It seemed a good time to call it a day. It was a short ride but pleasant just the same.
Happy Easter All!

Very nice Kevin, but what's that white stuff?? I almost forgot what it looks like, hahaha. Sounds like you had a nice Easter.

I spent my Easter giving motorcycle lessons, 4 lessons, 5 hours, with a little downtime, pretty decent way to get paid on a holiday.

Nice ride report. Envious. Had another 2 or 3 cm of snow last night. Just enough to cover our street to keep the bike in the garage.

Back when I was young and foolish, my brother and I used to ride up to Nashua on my dad's /7, grab a rack of beers at the Shaw's off of 3 and sit at those very picnic tables and drink them.

We'd spend the afternoon there pretty regularly.

Thanks for the photos.

And next you'll be telling us only one of those two things have changed!

Can the words "Harley" and "cute" be used in the same sentence? Wait, I just did.
Nice job man, thanks for sharing.
