We used to live in Clifton Park NY and would take 787 from the Northway to Troy, pick Rte 7 eastbound to VT where it turns into Rte 9 and follow Rte 9 through Bennington to Brattleboro, get on I91 N for one exit and back onto Rte 9 to Keene and then to Concord via a short trip on I 89. Nice ride, good road for the most part, and during bike week, fun to watch the locals along the way taking part in the excitement for their towns by sitting on their front porches watching the bikes go by

.

To go to the lakes region (Exit 8 in Clifton Park to Alton Bay) was just about 4 hours with Brattleboro VT just about smack dab in the middle and a lot more relaxing than putting up with some of the idiots on the interstates and backups at toll booths.

Anyway you go, have a safe trip, a good weekend, and Happy Father's day if appropriate (in fact, Happy Father's day if you're not a Dad!!!!!).
