outstanding advice,i'll try to put these routes to paper and get a visual.the plan is to leave july19th and we(wife and i on two bikes )will have 16 days. we typically ride hard days 1 and 2 to get to an area then take each day as it comes. then ride hard home.so we should have about 12 days to explore the area. thanks again.

make sure to give yourself time to ride in the white mountains of new hampshire,stay off coastal one in maine on the weekends,bumber to bumber rubber neckers,,,,,rte 8 from 44 in ct up through the berkshires to vermont is beautiful,,,,,stay off the highways in ct,they are dangerous and overcrowded,,,all of them....also a rte that goes north and south in eastern new york is 22 nice farms and scenery....have a great trip and be safe

I would like to tag along with this post....we are from Indiana. Have done the DC/Niagara Falls/Lake George trip but want to go farther up into New Hampshire/Maine area. In July when weve done these trips we ran into 100 deg days requiring us to start riding at 4am and be at our next stop by 1ish.
When is the best time to goto Maine and hit nice riding weather..... is September good?

thanks for the input. i'm not looking specifiably for good rides but rather a complete route. have been thru Virginia and w.Virgina. how about starting a rt. at the Chesapeake bridge? have been across it but did not go north to Maryland. thinking this might be a good place to start? it's tough to try to look for a good route on a map as there is so much stuff in such a small place. i'm counting on you guys familiar with the area. going thru lots of small towns is good. big cities bad. also would like to hit all the states just because. (in some states a wheel across the border counts! thanks again and more help please.
Good Luck!

The white mountians in NH are very scenic esp Mt. Washington (Take the train to the top!) When I was stationed at Pease AFB back in the 70's there was a great seafood place just north of Portsmouth NH called Newicks lobster house... Great place to eat! www.newicks.com

In New Hampshire, you gotta ride the Kancamagus (Rt 112), and the Notches (Rt 302/Crawford Notch, Rt 16/ Pinkham Notch to Mt Washington).
