You may want to also try the Blackstone River Bikeway, there isn't a lot of common roads crossed compared to East Bay and Washington secondary, so better cruising. I bike this on the regular, it's all paved(unless you opt for the few small detours along the way).

If you're into unpaved dirt, I find the Airline Trail in CT to be a great challenge. It's not too far over the border depending where you catch it. I do this one on occasion, but sometimes there's horses, but far less people than the other paths

Airline is awesome but I haven’t figured out how to loop it in from providence yet. I always get lost in Woonsocket 🤷🏻‍♂️

I only found out recently about it, but last fall I actually made it up that way via Canal Street just by following signs but had now idea that connected at the time. From the end, it's a left out onto Hamlet >Court Street> High Street right onto Canal Street cross the Mass border and it should spit you out here: https://goo.gl/maps/QU1ipNoADtbRM1s68

although it does split off around 146 so you have to get creative crossing there, but once you do it connects over to the airline. I will warn that northern section is rough

Oh yeah! That starts just around the corner from where another bikey friend of mine lives.

For sure! The cross-state-to-Bristol route is currently most exciting to me, but Blackstone is a close second for sure.
