Although the pedometer site is good, it lacks information about the routes like places to stay, places to get food and places to get repairs if needed. Go to Adventure Cycling and look at the network. From Mass., you have a couple of options. You could take the Atlantic route south to Virginia and then go west on the TransAmerica. This route will take you way south and you would be doing a lot of climbing once you get to Colorado.

Alternatively, take the same route to St. Louis and then follow the Lewis and Clark to Montana and then to Yellowstone.

Or you could go north through Vermont and New Hampshire to the Nothern Tier and across. All are going to be around 2500 miles. The Adventure Cycling maps are very good and comprehensive (although I do carry a wider area map for those off route trips) and generally reliable.
