Anyway, thanks everyone for all your kind words! it was neat to share my little peice of heaven, the winters can be brutal up here but this makes it all worth it!

I knew that was Rye NH as soon as I saw those pics. I think thats right around Dan Brown's (DiVinci Code guy) house no? Anyway, I am from Pittsburgh PA just relocated from Newburyport, MA and I miss, miss, miss my weekend ride from MA to Maine. It seriously makes me want to cry I miss it so bad. I also highly recommend 127 from Salem up the coast. Awesome ride as well.
I miss it badly and Sunday Reggae on the deck at Saunders too of course!

Very nice, BDG. And all the others who shared pics, too. It's kind of cruel to be posting such nice pics when some of us are stuck at work, though.

I live North of Boston and would love to do some riding up the coast. One of the CRW centuries goes up there... Maybe this year will be the year to go up.

We do a ride every year down there mostly so we can go to the Goldenrod after.
It's like stepping back in time, the lime rickeys are good too.

Do you actually do training rides using your aero bars down that narrow little path?

You are one lucky girl, BDG! To have that kind of view within 1 mile of your home is just amazing! Me, I get I-395 and, within 5 miles I-495!
