Margaret,
Here's one method:
* Take Rt. 40 out of the center of Groton towards Westford.
* Take a right on Graniteville Rd. (near MIT/Haystack observatory). If
you enter Westford on Rt. 40, you've gone too far (by a hundred yards
or so).
* Graniteville Rd. becomes West St. as you enter Westford.
* Go to the end of West St and take a right onto N. Main (at the stone
church, currently under construction)
* Take first left onto Town Farm Rd.
* Go to the end of Town Farm Rd. and go straight across to Abbot St.
* Go to the end of Abbot St. and turn left on Rt. 225. While 225 is a
numbered road, it has nowhere near the traffic or speeds of 119.
* Take 225 to Rt. 110, turn right onto 110, stop at Kimball's, then
continue to LKG.
* Alternate: After turning onto 225, take the first right onto Beaver
Brook Rd. This comes out just before the farm stands on 119 on the
other side of 495 from LKG. But you don't go by Kimball's with this
route!
Have fun!

| 2793.2 | assuming you take Groton St. from Pepperell ctr... | EDWIN::GULICK | Those dirty rings !! | Thu Jun 16 1994 14:17 | 2 |
| You can cut out going all the way to Groton center by taking Martins Pond
Rd off of Hollis St and then taking Schoolhouse Rd down to Rte 40.

| The topo maps didn't show much in the way of backroads. .1 is about the
best from Groton to the north of 119, but 40 and 110 tend to be pretty
busy too. There's nothing to the south without going to Ayer and
turning left. There are a string of ponds that present sort of a
natural barrier between Groton and Littleton, and 119 is the only thing
that cuts between them. kb

but the Massachusetts Bicycle Map does! This map is GREAT
for planning routes... It shows what roads to head for and
what roads to stay away from. Data from May, 1991:

| 2793.5 | No luck | R2ME2::GREENWOOD | Tim. I do Unicode. | Tue Jun 28 1994 16:16 | 8 |
| I called the number that John gave in .4
They said that the Massachusetts Bicycle Map had not been printed for 6 years
and that the Boston-Cape Cod Bikeway Map was printed by the Boston Youth Hostels
and available for $2.50 plus tax. They did not have a number for the latter
organization.

| I have the Mass Bicycle Map; it's not even in the same league as
1:25,000 topo maps. A lot more convenient to carry, however. kb

| Well, after driving the available alternate routes I decided that the best
approach is to leave the house at 6:00am and skip the traffic. This worked
very well, although it does get me here awfully early.
Margaret.
