Yesterday at 7:30am out on the western side of of Massachusetts Rt2 about 108 miles into a 404 mile day. I had all of Rt2 to myself.

Did you go beyond Greenfield(intersects I91 N&S),then on the way past Shelburne Falls?  :)
That's a peaceful ride.

Yep, all the way out to Rt7. More info in the 25 rides thread.

I agree it's a great part of the state, very timeless.

I lived in MA. for 15+ years,but never went West like that on rte.2,and I imagine that old road is wonderful. Does MA. keep-up with road maintenance ?

It’s great but has got very commercial up there and very busy . I was very surprised how bad people were riding . I don’t mean fast just bad . Very large BMW’s seemed to be the worst . One clipped me then flattened some poor bloke on a bicycle , not clever . Wasn’t like that when I first went up . that was 45 years ago though .
