I live in western MA. Route 8 along the Farmington River is a nice ride. In Adams, MA there is an autoroad to the top of Mt. Greylock. (Tallest Mtn. in MA, which isn't saying much). Further north Rte 7 in VT is a nice ride. If you're into history the Bennington monument in, you guessed it, Bennington, VT is an interesting stop. Also Rte 100 in VT, goes all the way down through the state from Canada to MA, through the heart of ski country. All nice rides, if you're not in a hurry, without a lot of traffic.
