Ride plan for Greylock

We will be departing DD at 9am Sharp
Helmets along for the ride, there will be time for a helmet stop
.
Wear clothes, layers, the high is forecast for 60 degrees, which is great if you're standing in the sun but not so great on the move, and the top of the hill, (while closer to the sun) will be colder.

The route will be highway limited, as in from.

Normal SOP for this ride is sit at the top and eat, so this means you will need something to eat. We will be making a stop at the Subway in North Adams (or the Brewhaha for those so inclined)

Leaving DD we will take 163 to 395, to 95, to 9 in Old Saybrook.
Hopefully this will be all the highway you will see.

We will get off at exit 6 (Chester) and take 148 across to 79 then 17 through Durham.

Then a left on 147 to 157 to Jackson Hill rd, then 66. 
66 will take us up by the school to 217. 
217 will bring us to 372.
372 will take us through New Britain to Plainville and route 10. 
10 and 202 will run us into Westfield Mass, where we will pick up route 20 west into the Berkshires then 8 up and over Becket Washington and Hinsdale and down into Pittsfield.
Then a run north on 8 to North Adams and Route 2 for food pickup before climbing Notch road up the hill.

It sounds like a lot but it is only 118 miles and take us around 2 hours and 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on speeds.
