Road Scenery:

Beautiful
small towns, lakes and the shoreline. Plymouth
is a great destination for eating, shopping, and historical
sightseeing.

Road Quality: 
|
|
This
route skirts Brockton, which is horrible for driving, and
most of the road quality is good. There will be congestion
around RT 6 in the summer. There's an alternate Route that
I describe below, which takes you from Marion up to Plymouth,
but you miss the shore ride. You do, however, go through
some nifty cranberry bogs.

Roadside Amenities:

Don't
worry about gas on this ride. Plymouth has lots of eating
choices, as well as antiques, museums, Plimouth Plantation,
and shops. Bikers head there in droves to show off
their rides. To stop off at Dave Perewitz's cycle
shop, follow these directions: after you pass Bridgewater
State College on Rt 18/28, look for a left turn onto Plymouth
Road. He's only a short ride from there. Call (508)697-3595
for shop hours. Say Hi to Susan, his lovely wife.

Written
directions:
-
Start your ride in Wayland,
MA.
- Take Rt 27 south, from Wayland, through Walpole,
Sharon, and into Stoughton. Keep your eyes peeled
for signs, because the route takes some unobvious
turns in Sharon and Stoughton.
- In Stoughton Center, turn south on Rt 138, and
about 5 miles down the road, take a left onto RT
106 East.
- Rt 106 will run into Rt 18/28S at which point
you want to turn right (heading south).
- To go directly to Plymouth, get off at Rt 44 East,
and drive into Plymouth.
- *** Note, if you want to continue on a scenic
ride, instead of turning east on Rt 44, just stay
on Rt18 South, even after 28 splits off. Follow
this Route onto Rt105S, and it's a gorgeous ride
through some lakes in Lakeville and Long Plain.
This is a designated scenic route. From there, head
Rt 6 East to 3A North, into Plymouth, along some
really pretty shore scenes. In summer, Route 6 will
be congested, especially in Bourne, and Sagamore.
