I will be in Boston, MA (actually Lexington, MA) next week and wondering if there are any must do rides? Any suggestions in bordering states are good too. I will be arriving on Saturday and don't need to be to work until Tuesday so a road trip bike ride will be great. I started to research Mapmyride but it quickly became too much information if anyone wants to help me narrow down the search fields I would greatly appreciate it.

Not familiar with the Boston area, but if you were looking for Patterns Cheap Coach Purses And Handbags Wholesaler, I have some ideas. ;-)
If you make it down towards the NY/lower CT area, let me know. I even have a spare bike you could ride if a 55/56 fits. For Boston, you might ping xjahx—he's in the area.

SBSbiker,
LOL nobody will ever confuse me with King of the Mountain points. Does Strava have downloadable content to the Garmin 705?
Tbill,
Thanks for the offer for the spare bike but I take my coupled VaMoots with me on my travels ;^). I end up riding it more than I do my SL due to my work schedule and family commitments. When I am traveling I don't have the family commitments. I have spent some time in Stamford CT nice area it looks like about a 3 hour drive.

Matt,
I was a super blast to ride the VaMoots RSL, I will have to keep working on the wife or sneek an RSL in through the back door (maybe she won't notice).
I would also like to give a huge shout out to Belmont Cycle Works (BCW). After the gorilla's at TSA smashed my S & S Hardcase the latches barely held the box closed and the handle was in pretty sad shape. BCW fixed the mounting post so the handle could be used, and we taped up the handle. They also provided me with a strap system that encased the S & S Case so it wouldn't pop open for the trip home tomorrow. I figured there would be a charge for the services, they just told me to have a nice flight home. Wow now that is customer service, plus I got to ride a darn sweet Moots RSL.
I filed a damaged baggage claim through Delta Airlines. We will see what happens, luckly the Hard Case did it's job the bike made it safe and sound. Hopefully the trip home will be less eventful.

P.s. I found the Garmin it was in the bike box all along, I got a total of 75 miles in while I was in Boston. I would have like to get more miles but the weather was crappy/rainy so I did more sight seeing than I would usually do.

OOps Belmont Cycle Works should have been Belmont Wheel Works (BWW).
Delta still hasn't got back to me on the damaged S & S Case.
The ass’ at TSA took the strap system off the box and didn't even come close to putting the retention system back on correctly. They also removed the top caps off of the compression members and never reinstalled them so they basically they had no function. This trip has been brutal on my VaMoots. Still worth it.
I put on a show at BWW when I packed my bike back in the box at the Moots booth. Moots should add an S & S coupled bike to the Demo Fleet or at least couple a blank top tube or down tube for the Demo booth. IMO this is the best option Moots offers.

Sat, I feel your pain... my Tri-All 3 bike case was damaged by the gorillas at Dulles on a recent trip, they ripped one of the latches right off the case (damned if I can figure out how they did it...), it's like they go out of their way to break stuff, now I just leave the bike at home.
