any one know some nice roads to get there starting in waltham.? im going there tommorow on the bike and dont want to slab it

[DuncanMoto]

Route 1A can be nice.
If you have never been to Plum Island it's pretty cool.

...As long as there isn't traffic. That can be said for all the roads though.

Scottie-2-Hottie and I took 1A up from Medford to Ipswich, and I wanted to kill myself. So many lights and traffic from Chelsea all the way to past Lynn. once you get past Salem though, yeah 1A is awesome.

62 from Lexington to Beverly can be nice too.

I'd probably go with desmo's last suggestion, rt 62. Better than slabbing it.

[schleppy]

62 and 1a are probably your best bets. What time are you leaving Waltham, what time do you have to be in Newburyport? I can draw up a Google Map...

I'm a 1A fan myself, depending when. Traffic can suck.

If you're looking for a short section to really hammer, get at me. You're going to be within 10 minutes of one of my favorite roads of all time

I have to take Jess to get dental surgery tomorrow morning at 8. I won't be home until late afternoon, then I likely have to either go into work, or work from home. Bah.

This is a fun bit:

Staring south on Rt. 22, heading down common lane. You can then snake out to 133 and take that back to 1A and then Newburyport.

[Sportygurl131]

thanks

Common Lane is falling apart. Needs to be repaved big time.

Last time I was on it was about 2 months ago in my car though, sooooo maybe the frost had something to do with it? Not sure. 127 has some rough spots in Beverly Farms/Endicott area too.
