Not in that part of MA, but there are plenty of remote.rural areas in the western part of the state. I went to high school in Deerfield and have done D2R2 twice. It's a mostly dirt randonee in W. MA and VT. Great ride to raise money to preserve open space in Franklin County.
Despite the rural nature of many parts of the state, there is a good enough network of old roads to get you from place to place without needing to resort to major highway a lot, although you may need to abide dirt. I could hear the banjos playing in the woods of SW MA during this year's St. Alban's, VT to Philly tour.
