New England didn't really occur to me, but since you mentioned it, it sounds kinda interesting. And we've never been there, so it'd be someplace new to explore.

This may be better off in the Rec & Family forum, but since it's specific to mountain biking, I thought there may be more knowledge here about what I'm looking for.
