Hi Folks,
I am looking to break in my RT with a couple of long trips this year; MOA Rally will be 2nd trip. I consider myself a beginner motorcyclist and prefer to avoid major congestion.
My first trip will be solo and I am not familiar with the interstate routes south of Maine. Usually once I hit the US Border, I get off the main road to see the sights. Here is what I am working with:
Saturday: Nova Scotia - Portsmouth, NH.
Sunday: Portsmouth – Richmond, VA (longest day)
Monday: Arrival to Florence. Mid-morning start and early ending to day
My question is around the best route from Hartford to South of Washington?
I do not foresee me going I-95 through NY, Philly, Baltimore. Correct me if I am wrong, that would just be pure slab and traffic volume compared to my other options?
I am left with two options in my uneducated guesstimate:
Take 287 over the Tarrytown bride until it turns to 78 and meets 81 OR pickup 84 through Hartford to 81, 83 to US15.
If you have any insights to helping me plan a route, please share.
Are there tolls?
Thank you!
