I live in Cornwall, Ontario and routinely travel to Canton, Ohio and to Maine. I usually allow two days to Canton and two days to Maine using only scenic routes. So at my pace which is very enjoyable, it would take you four days to get to Maine. I would say that three is reasonable but anymore is not enjoyable...

Dragon, just east of you in fredericktown, 5 days would be really pushing it and not leaving much time to enjoy it.

Not sure where you have been, but we do alot of riding and here are some suggestions.

We did a 5 day to York pa to the harley plant and gettysburg had a great time and alot of great riding in PA,
We did a thur to sunday run down to new river gorge in WV and alot of great riding down there by Beckley Wv
We did a really nice 5 day plus ride to TN did the dragon, cherohala, everything down there, then cut up into Ky and did nice ride thru there over stopped at mammoth cave and some small towns on the burbon trail. Look up the Kentucky burbon trail.

Man there are so many.
Was going to do one but didn't get the chance, where we went up to chicago stopped at the hd museum, then went north and came into michigan and crossed over the mackinaw bridge and back down thru mi to ohio.

Stop in Barstow, its on the burbon trail we road most of it last year, There is a little tavern there called the Talbot i believe has routes all the way back to the jesse james days. Neat place. And wild turkey is just down the road.

Thanks guys keep the comments coming. What does every one thing of the route I did to PA then to WV to KY and Back to Ohio. I am thinking that is gonna be the ride but if there is some must see stuff along that route or better routes to take along the same general circuit I am up for it.

Thanks
Phil
