Just finishing my move to Ashland this weekend. Anyone want to Share Any good roads for just a quick ride when I need to sneak out.

I am more of a Weekday rider, so anyone ever want to hit me up, let me know

[Kenn157]

Natick and Ashland in the same sentence... Hold me I'm going to faint!

Welcome Ashland guy! I'm sure we have some riders in Framingham.. in fact I'd bet my, bottom dollar!

Great to meet you! Ray ray had a great route that took us up off route 9 to marlborough, but I dont know the side street names. Ive gone through some roads towards medfield and up to maynard..problem being the roads are narrow, so can't get to crazy for speed and cornering without fear of oncoming traffic.. Still a nice easy pace up those major routes is nice ie rt 27,126

Just put a bit of chrome on your ride, you'll fit in with the locals here... The few bits on my r6 that I never bothered to change when I bought it always draws attention here...that or my asian gangster dragon jacket confused them....

[Kenn157]

Jtryz, you got a Triumph Daytona 675R! You already fall under my Triumph unbrella of protection!

[jtryz]

i'll take it!

sorry no chroming or dragon jackets for me. I guess i will be the lone rider......

[jtryz]

675 yes!!!!

In the same area as you. Right next door the town of Sherborn and Dover have some fun roads. Nothing you're going to drag a knee on but still fun. Got to be careful in those towns because the cops don't have a lot to do in those two towns since crime is non-existant.

[Kenn157]

Billy Marbenas better watch out! Your totally naked baby, totally nude! Cops are out for naked muscle boys!

[Billy]

Naked is a great way to ride!!!

[Billy]

jeff I'd go for a ride with you but I have zero time during the week to ride. All my riding is done on the weekend. If you ever do have time on the weekend shoot me a PM.

Right next door the town of Sherborn and Dover have some fun roads.

Farm St/Rd in Dover and Sherborn and the surrounding roads are excellent. I've been known to take a ride out of the city and through there at dusk after work. Have to watch out for cyclists and the occasional deer (and LEO, to a lesser extent), but it's always a good ride.

I know all the back roads out that way as I lived in Framingham and Ashland most of my life. I even have routes all the way up into NH & VT without hitting the slab.

I am available weekday afternoons and weekends and be happy to show you some routes.

I'm out of work during the week & home by 4, ready to ride 4:30 most nights if it's nice out. Tuesdays are the only day that doesn't work.

Well I don't know you to call to you stupid, but We'll go with "What he said"! It was the only smiley that was close!

You can go to Chestnut st in Ashland follow that all the way till the end and that connects to RT 109 then left on RT 105 then left on RT 27 then right on Snow st then right on Forest st stay to the right of the fork then follow that till the end. At the end you can take a left and that will bring you back to Sherborn at route 27 take a RT and that will bring you to 16 then take a left and that will bring you to RT 16 / 126 follow that till then take a rt on Highland ST in Holliston and that will bring you back to Asland or when you were at the end of Forest st you can go right follow that and stay to left of the split on to Farm St then take your next left onto Glen st go to the end and take a left on Pleasant st then left on to RT 16 that will bring you to South Natick don’t forget your 9 mm LOL. RT 16 will bring you back to RT 16 /126 follow that till then take a rt on Highland ST in Holliston and that will bring you back to Asland… I haven’t been on these roads in a while as I live in Grafton for 4 years so I don’t know the condition have fun!!! There are some good roads out there sometimes you just have to get lost..

Pro-tip : Google Maps, pick a starting point. Use "Get Directions", then right click on places you want to have a "check point" at and click "Add Destination".

Continue doing this.

When you're done, in the left panel, top-right of that panel next to the Print button is a little button that looks like a chain link. Click it, and paste us the link. Way easier than describing it. Also, I think you'll enjoy it because you'll see that there's a few changes you could make to your first route that might be a little more fun. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=ch...via=4&t=m&z=12

Ussing google maps is much better. I didnt know on how to do that. Thaks for the info i will try it next time

[jtryz]

Google maps is easier. thanks guys.

i live on chestnut. perfect!

[RoyalewitCheese]

so which is it .. Natick or Ashland?

From Natick
ride up 16 on your way towards milford (but don't go into milford). from 16 you can pick up 27, and go through the less stressed areas around here. ill have my bike ready to go in about week or so, but next to yours it'll look like a beat up vietnamese whore next to a swedish school girl.
