Reccomendations for power testing routes near stow.

Sort of new to the area. Looking for a good route to do 20-30minute max power tests, any reccomendations?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

This is where I do my 20 minute FTP test. It's 8.5 miles, not enough for a 30 minute test. There is one stop sign that you take a right on (corner of Summer and Willow), otherwise its smooth sailing the whole way, with more ups than downs.

The best place is the Concord TT loop...starts corner of Barretts Mill and Lowell Road, then right on 225, then right on Church St which turns into Monument St. If you need a few more minutes at the end, don't turn right on Liberty....just keep going back to concord center. For a power test you want flat to gently rising...but not a lot of up and down.
