Re: Bear Mtn Area NY

almost forgot that your in SI and would approach bear mountain via NJ.

we usually head up the sprain brooke pkwy to taconic, or bronx river pkwy to taconic; it all depends on starting point. tried looking for some maps but just got too lazy. will try again tomorrow.

Re: Bear Mtn Area NY

Harriman park is also nice, 7 lakes drive. I've actually never ridden up at Bear Mt....too crowded, too many squids, from what I hear. I wouldn't mind checking it out once, though, but I have a lot of fun on the NJ/PA roads

Last season we were actually riding more north and on the way back decided to get off and try to look around. It was really pretty nice there and I dont remember seeing all that many bikes that day.

I think we can home via the palisades-parkway route if memory serves me

Re: Bear Mtn Area NY

There is a really great little road up in Essex County that is well worth the short trip up there. It's Essex CR6 aka "Tracy Road"....only about 6-7 miles long, but it is a really flowing piece of riding nirvana....

Not sure where you are coming from, but here is quick map from the Ticonderoga area:

Take the Ferry from VT into NY at Ticonderoga
74 West
CR2 (Corduroy Rd.) North to Crown Point Center
CR7 North to Moriah Center
CR7A North to Witherbee
CR6 (Tracy Rd.) West

Either Take 9 South to CR4 or double back to run Tracy Road again...

If you were on CR4 but missed CR6, you will kick yourself silly...that is a great piece of pavement, and you were minutes away...

ok first thing, use some punctuation.

second TGZ was involved in a crash this summer which he's still recovering from and has given up riding.

but maybe some other people would like to get a ride together. a bunch of us had thrown around ideas of a NE ride last winter but it never materialized. Maybe we can get a good one next summer.

A little more detail to Bake's post, which captures a few more nice roads in that area. Definitely worth the trip .... as is most of VT.

Hmmm...dug around in the archives, and found this snap taken at the end of Tracy Road. One of these characters is GT702....

Edit:
Before anyone asks, that is not Mick Doohan in the Stich...

so what you're saying is you aren't riding buddies with Mick. What did he wave at you one day or something?
