It's a bit of a sprawl-y route as you'll be hitting metropolitan suburbs through most of the segments in MA and RI. CT is scenic, though. An alternate, if you don't mind hill climbing, is to head west from Boston towards Oxford, then south to CT, skipping RI entirely. The sections between Natick / Southboro > Hopkinton > Sutton > Oxford are gorgeous but rolling. The Boston > Providence route, by contrast is reasonably flat, and you won't really hit any serious climbs until you get to CT.

Thanks! i'll take a look at those. As for the "serious climbs" what do you define as such? I might not be averse to that but if there's a bunch of mt. washingtons, then I'd never make it.
