103rd Annual Loudon Classic - Bike Week 2026

I haven't been to the races for a few years so I headed to Loudon to watch some racing during bike week.  I bought a pass on Friday and walked around the the infield to see some bikes getting ready.

I spent most of my time taking pictures along the front of the stands starting at the far corner before the straight.  I worked my way back to where I entered then headed for the sharp turn after the hill.

I took a picture of #351 at the corner.  He missed the turn coming off the main straightaway and hit the barriers on that next lap.  I didn't see the accident but saw the bike up against the wall.  Hopefully the rider was ok.

It was fun watching the races.  I saw many braking so hard before a corner their rear wheel was off the ground.  I think I'm a bit to old for that kind of riding. hehe

Gloucester Harbor boats

Over the years I have driven through Gloucester many times on my way to the Good Harbor beach, Rockport, etc.  I have seen boats in the harbor but have not spent much time there.  There are many fishing boats that call Gloucester their home.  A movie,"The Perfect Storm", is based on one of those Gloucester fishing boats.  

There is plenty of history here also.  Here are some of my Gloucester boat pictures.
