Just to let everyone know sections of Route 232 have been repaved.
This is the road through Groton State park from Route 302 in Groton to
Route 2 in Marshfield.  The new pavement makes those sections like a
rollercoaster ride, smooth, fast, and fun.  Still some bumpy sections
but I would argue this is the best ride in the state right now.  No
traffic, no construction, new pavement and 14+ miles of turns.

Also, congrats Mark, I know you were wanting one.  I have a lead on a
restored BSA dirt bike, it making me think hard!!

Enjoy the ride!!!

I'm headed to Northern Vermont for four days of riding Labor day weekend.  Hopefully I'll have a info on a bunch of good roads, but will be able to avoid the worst ones..

So, before I go, Tim's post prompts me to ask; anyone know of any roads up through Vermont that I probably will want to avoid ?

TIA

We discovered some great roads, some good roads and some must avoids. Figured I would
briefly share them with you.

Roads to avoid:

Route 302 from Barre to Portland, it took us 6 hours to go 200 miles!!! The traffic and
tourists were horrible.

Almost all of Route 1 in Maine, especially in Freeport, Camden, and Wiscasset. We found a
good way to get around Camden, take a left on Main Street in Rockport, at the end take a
left, at the end take right on 235 to Hope. Then quick right on 105, then follow 52 to
Belfast, it's a nice ride and cuts out a lot of traffic.

Great rides.

Rangeley Lakes are amazing, lots of sweepers, 55 MPH speed limits and no traffic or LEOs.
Be aware there is limited gas so fill up before your leave the last major town. Route 17
from Mexico to Rangeley Lake is awesome, it is 40 miles of one sweeper after another with
no traffic. Twist the throttle and enjoy.

Route 32 from outside of Augusta to Permaquid Point is a great road to the coast. Lots of
good turns but a little bumped up and there is some traffic. Come back out via 130 to
129 to Damariscotta.

Route 175 to Route 176 in Blue Hill is a great coastal ride. Fantastic road and very little
traffic for the coast, plus Blue Moose in Blue Hill is a great restaurant.

This route is a scenic, not fast (Cruiser) group of side roads and its
highlight is the 12 miles of Route 116 that includes nice turns around
a lake in a beautiful setting.


From Carmel take Route 6 East to Routes 22/202 South.

Look for signs to Purdy, Route 116 East.

(Route 684, exit 7 is right here if you come from another direction to
find Rt.116).

Entering Ridgefield, slow down for the police.

In Ridgefield look for Route 35 South, go to its end and make a right
onto Route 7 South.

Go 1 - 2 miles on Rt. 7 and there will be a Left split to Route 33
that will take you to Westport.

This road is great for early morning riding.  Beware of the police.
They are about 19 yrs old and get really excited when you get caught.


It is about 30-40 miles long, up and down hills lots of corners with no
lights and one stop sign.  It goes through 2 very small towns. It is
also very scenic.  best direction is from Great Barrington to Chicopee.

This year there has been an initiative to slow bikres down in
Massachusetts.  To many squids with load pipes way over their heads on
the roads.  The Gov decided to crack down.

Good luck and sfae trip

Route 232 between US 302 and US 2 is a great twisty road.  Take Route 302 east
from Barre
for about 25 miles or so, to Groton.  This is a nice ride through rolling hils
with nice
sweepers. In Groton take a left on 232.  This is a two lane troad through Groton
State Forrest.
There are no cross roads and few houses, so the traffice is light.  There are
several camp
grounds and a public beach.  The road is often a bumby from frost heaves,
keeping your
speed in check.  But the twistys are well worth it, it is 15-20 miles of turns.

Here's a Winter ride for Arizona:

From PHX, take the 60 east past Apache Junction & Superior and towards
Globe.  Just past Globe, turn south on the 77 and go past Christmas
and Hayden - take a stop at on of the strip mining lookout and awe
over the leveling of miles upon miles of copper strip mining...

Keep going south on the 77 past Mammoth, Oracle, and  right near Oro
Valley, make a right onto Tangerine Road and take that to the 10 -
it'll save you some time instead of taking the 77 all the way into
Tucson and through the University of Arizona area (unless you want to
'urban' it for a spell).  You'll only be on the 10 for about 15 miles
or so - you'll get off on I-19 towards Mexico, but only for maybe a
mile - get off on W. Ajo Way, which is the 86.

Take the 86 west and if you have the time, cruise up to the Kitt Peak
observatory (weather permitting) - you'll have to doubleback to get
back on the 86, but it's a great spirited ride (look out for LEO
though!).  Keep going west on the 86, through Sells and Covered Wells
(make sure you stay on the 86, there a 86/15 split before Covered
Wells), up through Why, where the 86 merges with the 85 and becomes
the 85.  You'll go north through Ajo up to Gila Bend, where the 85
intersects with the 8 - you can take the 85 north to the 10 at the
point (if you live in North PHX) or you can take the 8 east to 84/347
and go north - it turns into Maricopa Rd. and will drop you right into
South Chandler...

Great ride, albeit a long one (about 400 miles I think) but it's a
blast in the Winter months and you won't see too many cars on these
roads as well.

My favorite ride in the fall/spring is:

From west PHX, take 99th Ave up to Lake Pleasant Highway (route 74),
west to route 60 (Grand Ave.) and up through Wickenburg, take the 89
north through Congress and up through Yarnell (look out for LEO on
Yarnell hill), continue north up through Prescott (the backside of the
Bradshaws are just wonderful), and just as you get north of Prescott,
take the 89A through Prescott Valley and up the backside of Mingus
mountain through Jerome and landing down in Cottonwood.  From
Cottonwood, take a breather at the Sonic Burger and then get back on
the 89A just long enough to make a right onto the 260 (east) towards
Camp Verde, stay on the 260 going past Camp Verde and up the mountain
and when you get to the stop sign at the 87 junction (at the edge of
the Mogollons), make a right and take the 87 down through
Pine/Strawberry, through Payson, and cruise the Beeline down past
Saguaro Lake and either make a right at Shea (into Scottsdale), or
keep going straight into Mesa (depends on where you live).

I think it's about 380 or so miles... I forget exactly.  I also use
that route to break-in bikes, but it takes me a lot longer as I'm
stopping quite often to cool the bike down.  In the summer, the heat's
a bi**h and I wouldn't recommend it.  In the winter, there's too much
chance of snow in the bradshaw, mingus, and mogollon rim areas, so
it's definitely a fall/spring thing....

A tight twisty road with good scenery and surface that should not be
missed if you are in the area.

If you are planning your trip Rt. 212 East of Woodstock has traffic.
West of Woodstock is where you want to ride.

This 45 mile stretch of Vermont is not to be missed and if you are
coming from NY it is a wonderful way into the middle of VT.

The first portion of the road (From NY) are long sweeps through farm
lands with changing elevations and long view over the plains of
Vermont.

Half way through the ride Route 17 turns right and goes into the
mountains.  The scenery changes as the road rises in elevation and
excitement through an incredible series of switch backs.

The switch backs are truly incredible, banked properly, tight and
making you work to go through them, but so rewarding.  They will
easily take chrome off any cruiser if you are pushing and ear to ear
grins on anyone riding a sport bike.

At the top of the mountain is a rest area and lookout worth the stop.

The first time I road this road was at 7am on a Sunday morning. When
I returned for breakfast with my girlfriend and friends, I
described this road as "I have died and gone to heaven".

Leaving Lake Placid, take Rt. 86 North (East) out of town.

The scenery and river the road runs against makes for a perfect
setting.

There are wonderful elevation changes and sweeping turns that continue
along the river for a good 15 miles. There are a few 40mph towns ...
but the first 15 minutes from Lake Placid is one of the most wonderful
road I have found.

This is an 18 mile road between Cold Spring and Carmel.  It has good
turns and elevation changes throughout.  As you get closer to Carmel
the road goes along the edge of a lake and has wonderful sweeping back
to back turns sport riders will enjoy and want to ride again.

If you begin in Cold Spring, it is a great town for breakfast or lunch
and lots of motorcycles are there on the weekends.

Between Cold Spring and the Toconic Parkway is a state park that runs
across 301 for about 1 mile ... its a 40mph zone and cops like to
shoot radar and give out tickets there.
