Boston: share your century routes and rides.

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Boston: share your century routes and rides.

I used the 'search' function and found two nice circuits for centuries in Massashusetts that begin and end in or around Boston. Does anybody from Boston have any of their own century rides they'd like to share?

is great. You have to register, but you can check out literally dozens of routes around any city posted by other cyclists, including elevations, etc.

Well worth it.

Pick up a Rubel's bike map at any local bike shop, and follow the roads marked in green. It's hard to go wrong that way.

Personally, I do a half-century ride from Boston north-west through Watertown, Belmont, Waltham, Lincoln, Concord, Carlisle and back (probably missing some towns in that list). But you could certainly go farther in that direction.
