Mosquito infested NH White Mtns day tour

[Yankeebird]

Probably one of my top 3 worst mosquito experiences in New England and we forgot the dope. 

Nice and cool though, mid 60s while everyone south of NH was sweltering. Light rain.

I rode my Clem L and my bike buddy rode his Peugot Orient Express that he found on the side of the road for free. He put some Gravel Kings, a B17, and new grips on the bars and that was that. Everything else, including drivetrain is original.

 

I want to post more pictures but it keeps telling me the post is too long. Length? Word Count? MB? I cut it down to 3 picture and still no dice.

Ya'll have to imagine it

[Yankeebird]

Wow it hates me

I'll try again tomorrow

If anyone has any tips as to how many I can embed into the text using Google's resizer to "best fit" pls let me know

When it has said that to me I've found it means the images are too big. I've had luck resizing them to no more than 5MB total per post. Hope this helps - I'd like to see your photos!

Yankeebird that dumb thing has happened to me too! In the year 2024, why is Google so stupid? So I will often make my initial thread and then when you get the email, reply from there instead of the Google Group website. I find you can send pics more easily then. Some people even know how to embed photos in their actual post, but that rarely works for me, and if it does, ONLY from the email. I want to see the photos! Try again!

My trick (Android phone) is to take a screenshot of the photo and attach that version. I have no idea how I thought of this!

You can also just simply link the album from google photos or iPhotos. 

I’ve been on those rides and hikes. We just kept moving until the cool of the evening warded off the pests.

Down here in south Louisiana we have only two kinds of mosquitoes.

The ones that are small enough to get through the hole in your mosquito netting

and the ones that are big enough to grab the zipper and open it. ;-)

 

Actually they only come out at night when it's cool because is too hot in the daytime

I recently ran across this device for keeping a mosquito-free perimeter around yourself. Good reviews it seems but I’m not sure how it would work when riding. I assume it would still work as intended. We don’t have a big mosquito issue here but I have camped in places that were bad. I may try this the next time I plan to go somewhere with lots of mosquitos.
