Fall 4 or 5 day tour from Boston. Your suggestions?
New England in the fall has always been on my ticklist. Finally going to make it happen this year -- partly to justify my new travel bike purchase.
Looking to fly in/out of Boston to see some friends (and leave my case with them.)
What I'm looking for:
- 50-60mi per day.
- Scenery / foilage
- Some dirt / gravel / canal. (Running on 38s so nothing too aggressive.)
- Cool towns to stop in for food / drink. (I really like beer.)
- Can either camp or stay in hotels/hostels/Warmshowers/AirBnbs. May lean towards the later to minimize packing.
- 90% sure I'll be solo.
- Don't need crushing hills. Some shouldn't hurt me too much after a season of mtbing in the Rockies, but this trip isn't about finding my athletic limits.
When to come? Where to ride? What to eat and drink?
