Hello! I'm planning a bicycle route from Somerville to Saxton's River VT (MCRT to Ware River Rail Trail to Cheshire Rail Trail) and am looking for some advice from cyclists on how to fill in the gaps between managed sections of the Central Mass Rail Trail. One gap in particular that I'm currently trying to figure out is between Hudson MA and the MCRT Sterling Cider Mills Trailhead in Sterling
Downtown Hudson: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7WLiva1F7RjFGR6D6
MCRT trailhead in Sterling: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uPvbk2vNCdyuddxY9
Have any of y'all biked between these points before? I'm not expecting the route to be particularly pleasant, I'm mostly wondering if there are any roads in particular to avoid. For context I am in good shape and have 12 or so years of cycling experience, a lot of which has been in areas without a lot of biking infrastructure. Any info would be helpful! I'm sure folks have biked across MA before and figured out how to connect the various disjointed sections of the MCRT but I'm finding it tough to find examples of routes folks have used.
