Top Down Drive Suggestions

Going anywhere with your top down will be fun.
Just make sure the ladies in the car can cover themselves quickly in case you pass a cop.

Umm, it's my sweet 38-year-old trollish self that'll be sportin' the top off! Mmmmm...

My favorite is Rte 132 along the Rte 93. It may get a little busy though the cities but a great ride nevertheless.

Another great ride is Rte 10 along the Connecticut River. Lots of quaint little stops.

... just about any highway that does not have an "I" in front of the number.

Don't forget to check out the Loon Center. You can get to it either from 25 or 109.

There are great views from Castle In The Clouds.

There's a new soft serve yogurt place on Main Street in Wolfeboro that just opened - yum!

(and when they open, there's the Strawberry Patch, Bailey's Bubble, Morrisey's Front Porch, Downtown Grille and Cafe, and north of town is the Pine Cone Cafe.

And while you're in Wolfeboro, check out the New Hampshire Boat Museum, Albee Beach on Lake Wentworth, the Wright Museum of WWII, take a stroll on the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail, or just check out the docks and Cate Park.

I do a lot of motorcycling on back roads all over the place. I figure a good motorcycle road is a good top down road.

Route 118 from Warren to Woodstock can be fun, there's almost no houses or side roads and little speed enforcement.
116 from 112 to Franconia is good.
Winona Road from Meredith to Ashland has some great curves.
175 from Holderness to Woodstock is good.
113 from Fryeburg, ME to route 2 is good.
Hurricane Mountain Road from Intervale to wherever it is that it comes out is awesome.
153 from Wakefield to Conway is great.
VT 232 from Groton to Marshfield is excellent

And now my favorite...

EVERY back road between 93/Everett tpk, 89, VT91, and MA2 is good to awesome. That whole south west area of NH has amazingly fun roads and no crowds. Pretty much every village you pass through is lovely too.

If you want a longer trip, upstate NY has wonderful top down roads. As does Dutchess County NY. The farm land in Dutchess County between The Hudson River and route 22 is staggeringly pretty.
