I usually ride with an action cam and post the rides video so that everyone can see them. Will be starting again next week. Will start recording the GPS routes on the GPS too.

Mick, this is the area where I usually ride. Longer rides would include NY along Lake Champlain, NH into the White Mtns. and the Portland, Maine and south to Portsmouth, NH. We have some excellent places to ride, but the condition of the roads has been deteriorating for some time. Lots of reconstruction is needed the next few years.

mate.If you go onto Google street view you can zoom in to actually look along the road's as if you were riding along them,damn near look through people's window's,brilliant stuff for getting a feel for a place that you will never get to see any other way, and it's free

A lot of the New England towns have the same names as the towns in England. If you pull up Falmouth, MA and Falmouth England in 2 browser windows you can see the difference between the towns. The towns in England look cleaner and more of a tourist type area.
