I like to go the week after the whole shebang, great area to ride and no giant crowds, also quite a few vendors stick around and their prices are slashed
Same with Laconia, great mountain roads, sans the lame stupidity.
Used to attend both with a large group of friends, after a while we all tired of the crowds,so we started show'n up on the last day and stay'n the week after.
