    2-day MA/VT/NH route -- feedback/suggestions wanted

    Hey, all,

    I spent some time putting together a 2-day trip that incorporates some of the more technical and scenic (according to motorcycleroads.us) roads in MA, Vt, and NH. Except for the coastal routes back to Boston, most of these roads are new to me. But since most of the route is probably old hat to many of you, I was hoping to post the route. I'm open to all input or suggestions.

    (Since I have a Garmin, I used their Mapsource software. But I can't seem to post a Mapsource data file.)

    Below is the route recreated on google maps (it actually works when completely pasted!): 475 miles total. I'm anticipating spending the night in the Bennington or Henniker regions.

    from: Cherry St and summer st, Somerville, MA 02144 to: waltham - Google Maps ,+ma+to:Main+St%2FRT-117+%4042.442320,+-71.560500+to:RT-117%2FSeven+Bridge+Rd+%4042.468550,+-71.673670+toaxton,+MA+to:north+new+salem,+ma+to:Amherst,+MA+to:Conway+Rd% 2FRT-116+%4042.521450,+-72.782610+to:north+adams,+ma+to:bennington,+vt+to:brattleboro,+vt+to:west+r indge+to:Bennington,+NH+to:Henniker,+NH+to:danbury,+nh+to:Laconia,+NH+tor ovince+Rd%2FRT-107+%4043.411400,+-71.388410+to:raymond,+NH+toleasant+St%2FRT-27+%4043.040370,+-71.106380+to:little+boar's+head,+nh+to:Summer+St+%26+Cherry+St,+Somerville, +MA+02144&mra=pi&mrcr=14&via=2,3,7,16,18&sll=43.066881,-71.066437&sspn=0.396287,0.914612&ie=UTF8&ll=43.036776,-71.905518&spn=1.585883,3.658447&z=8

    Thanks,

    Dustin

    Ha! Yes, Waltham and back. Repeat.

    Sorry, I just can't see to find a user-friendly way to post the entire route with directions. This time I'll try to post a screen-shot of the Mapsource route. The route actually looks pretty good to me, but I'm sure the locals can point out its deficiencies. Motofreak, I'm aiming to do the route in the first half of May. I'll let you know when.

    Also, here is a list of some of the goal roads in the route:

    Waltham --> 117 --> Paxton --> 122 --> North New Salem --> 202 --> Amherst --> 116 --> Adams --> 8 --> Williamstown --> 7 --> Bennington --> 9 --> Brattleboro --> 119 --> Winchester --> 119 --> West Rindge --> 202 --> Peterboro --> 123/202 --> Bennington --> 202 --> Henniker --> 114/11/4 --> Danbury --> 104 --> Laconia --> 107 --> Pittsfield --> 107 --> Raymond --> and basically over to the coast and down the coast back to Boston.
