Many thanks epconde and the NE riders crew.  Clap Hail

I will be using this resource.  The Google routes are well done and easy to understand, and I appreciate the inclusion of scenic spots and good mountain climbs.   Thumbsup

This is a tremendous resource, thank you! Bigok

It will be very useful when I make it up that way for a lobster run the second weekend in July. Smile

Any changes in the ride schedule or routes in light of the road and town damage after Hurricane Irene?
Some friends and myself were going to ride that area the following week and were concerned about road closures, etc.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Avoid Southern and central Vermont and the Catskills area of Eastern NY. The Kancamaugus Highway is closed in New Hampshire, but the rest of New England and Eastern NY is doing well.

Yep, thanks to Irene I was stuck in Bethel, VT, for 2 days. Had to do some serious detours to make it outta there.  

Then got as far as Lincoln, NH, and found out that Kanc was closed!!  Oh well, gave me chance to see Lakes Area south of Lincoln.

These are GREAT routes.  Thanks!!!
