Hello,
I started my riding career out in Western Massachusetts, so I got used to having Route 116 and numerous other fantastic roads close by. Now I live in Boston and life is good, but the riding is absolutely terrible. I'm not really looking to get my knee down on the street anymore (older & wiser = keep it at the track now), but there have to be SOME fairly nice roads within 45 minutes - 1 hours of Boston. Can someone please enlighten me?
Thanks,
Mike
Here's my old bike out in Western MA:

Nice photos and nice bikes! I hear the Fellsway is nice for a short ride.. I'm sort of new to the eastern side of the state, too.
93N to 128S exit 31B --Rt4/225 all the way out to Westford Rt-119 west and the the fun really begins.

Um, rt#123 in southern NH is not too bad.

Google maps is your friend.

It's Skinner State Park... actually a terrible riding road - covered in moss & hikers, blind corners, and too narrow. The photo just turned out rather nice.

Seacoast Sport Cycle Rides will get you on a ton of fun roads...if I do say so myself!!!
http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...ribs-ride.html for example!
And a bunch of us will do ad-hoc rides from the Derry area...just keep your eye peeled on the the Rides forum.
(Lovely ride....seriously!)

From I495... Get off at exit 51 north toward Plaistow NH. Go north on rte.125 about a mile and stay left at the fork with the mobil station. This will put you on rte. 121. This a great road with many twisty and passing sections. This road goes from Haverhill Ma to Manchester NH. There are a few turns with well marked signs stay on rte.121. After about 15 or 20 miles on 121 you will take a left. This section is the great few miles:-) This area is tight twisty and well paved. I am good for this ride at least a few times a week. This area will go around a lake. If you turn back around after the good switchback section and head back through the center of Chester you can follow rte.121a back in to Ma for a switchup
