New England cruise suggestions needed!
 
Hey New England members,
Let's start discussing cruise options for the spring and summer.
I for one would like to do a Cape Cod cruise this spring.

I did this route in the fall of 2006. We could do it in May as an ice breaker run. We started in W.Springfield and ended in Greenfield. Went through lots of towns along the way.Lots of senic areas. Rte. is in yellow.

Why not go down to the Cape? Traffic down there isn't bad in the spring.

Definitely, in the first item I said I would like to have a Cape Cod cruise before the tourist season starts.
Do you have any suggestions for a great cruise up in your area? Route 1?
Maybe you'll get your car out of the garage by June if all the snow melts !!;)

Email me your ideas. nightrider2007@gmail.com . Cape before the crowds sound good to me. Foliage ride in NH/VT sounds great too.

Nice route crossfire fun. a nice change is from Holyoke take Rte 202 N to Belchertown then Rte 9 east and follow the side roads or Rte 32 N around Quabbin. The Quabbin Valley at Windsor Dam is fantastic even seen eagles out there.

White mountain cruise. Look up rt 118, it's nothing but twists and turns and beautiful scenery. I93 to Woodstock, NH is a beautiful drive too. I used to do it with my MC buddies. I'd like to go, but before I do, the roads must be free of salt, wetness, and etc. We'll see how it goes, but usually the roads suck until lat May or June. I'll be outta here by June.

If the group wants a ride in Maine (I would wait to late spring or early summer to do this ride. We have snow right up to our .... now.), let me know and I will work some ideas up.

I work in Hadley and live in Templeton so I drive 202 by Quabbin every day. It is great when the weather is nice!
I work all over western Ma. so I keep looking for good trails to follow. I went up a mountain the other day to get to a school in Wendell, When the 2 inches of sand is gone from the road I am going to see where it goes.It looks like it could be a nice ride.
A Maine ride would be fun. My wife and I go up there at least 3 times a year. Wells beach area.

I am sure the far western MA route is going to be great ! I would definitely like to see something closer to mid or eastern MA for my own selfish purposes. It would be almost a 3 hour trip for me to get to Chicopee.

Crossbow what do you have in mind for a trip in ME?

Everybody email Nightrider with suggestions and sign-ups.

The Western Mass route ( or a portion of it) is great driving in the late spring. Good roads, nice scenery and not too crowded.

Nothing specific - I can match the ride to the time everyone has available. Just let me know.

Crossbow,

It seems to be very difficult to get people together for cruises. At least that is what I experienced last fall. I believe Nightrider and I will just through ideas on the forum and see what sticks.

I think we will plan a couple of big ones for sure and Nightrider will inform and keep track of New England members. He has some good charity events on in the queue that will benefit veterans and their families. I am all for that!!

Re: New England cruise suggestions needed!
 
Where in New England are most members from? Are members looking for a cruise "next door" to them or "its not the destination but the ride?"

I live near the casinos in Connecticut and perfer to see new places or places I don't see everyday....AND LOVE A GOOD BAR-B-Q,

Would participants be interested in over nights and if so camp, resort or motel?

Perfer rural, mountain or urban cruise? Maybe a historical site Brimfield flea market?

Anyone know how to set up a poll on this?

A ride to North Comway would be a great time.. a few hours up.. incredible views... clean air.. NO TRAFFIC... and LOTS OF HIGHWAYS!
