    Need Help Finding Long Winding Roads w/o stops

    Hello to all my fellow riders.

    I am asking for everyone's help on a project I am taking on. I want to put together a route covering the North Shore to MetroWest of Boston that has the fewest number of stops for the distance covered. I know that a lot of you ride these areas or through them. If, during your ride, you notice over the sections you ride that there seems to be long tracks of road unbroken by stop signs and stop lights, please send me the road name and intersections the road traveled crosses. I will then begin to assemble these onto a map.

    If you have a favorite route that seems to include limited stops, please by all means send me the route and I will review it.

    You can post them here under this thread or PM me the road section.

    If I happen to be a , let me know where i can read the original post(s).

    Cheers to everyone.

    If you are looking for good motorcycle roads there are a ton of sites out there where people have already done this type of research. Here's one example:

    What time of day? From Salem to MetroWest, or return?

    I would check with Boston Area Motorcycle Riders (BAMR on Meetup) - almost all of their rides start on the North Shore, and they don't like putting their foot down, either. There's a public folder (or two) for non-member posts, and if I can post for you (I'm a member) let me know. The ride leads document their rides (and usually with GPS.)

    this link is great, however finding someone local can make these rides even better. the ones through my area are good rides but they are the main drags, for real fun you need to know the back roads.

    I don't know if this meets the minimal stop light requirement, but the New England Riders Delphi group has a listing of favorite roads in New England.

    and a 'Best Of' web page
