...just thought it'd be cool if we had some of our favorite New England routes available for people to check out.  I'm planning to do some exploring this weekend, and I'm looking for places to go.  In any case, it'd be great if we could have a bunch of routes that we could share.

NEDOC link seems dead

i know there is a thread on NEDOC where people have posted up routes...

Thanks.  Lot's of little 15 minute loops and such.

I'm piecing together a long loop from other little tidbits.  Probably up by Mt. Wachusett, around Quabbin, out through South Deerfield and back.  Maybe I can get the ball rolling.  There may be photos involved.... we'll see how motivated I get this weekend.

I didn't realize that they have a caste system over there. I'm a member and was logged in.   

I knew I didn't want much to do with NEDOC.

Maybe next years Mountain Dog rides won't be open to NEDOC members. 

That sounds pretty stupid too.  [roll]

I've been doing a lot of programming with Google Earth and Maps lately, maybe once I move out that way (1.5 mos) I can find the time to work on a site for NE rides.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. Deep Thought, Jack Handy

Well then, a early welcome to the Northeast to you.  One of my closest friends lives in CO. Springs right now... she is a prof at CO College.  I was out there last year.  It's a gorgeous state!
