East - West routes in New England?
Are there any good east west cycling routes in New England, in terms of traffic proximity and keeping climb total/grade moderate? There seem to be lots of north/south choices but fewer east/west.
The only thing that's seeming strongly plausible so far is following the CT coast along the sound.
Until the Mass Central rail trail is more complete Boston to western MA seems to have few good options. Up north someday the Lamoille Valley RT may be more than disjoint segments.
Some parts of MA 2 may be tolerable, other parts have famous hairpin climbs.
What about MA 9, or VT 9?
Anything in CT beside the shoreline?
