Question Nice Routes near NYC

Hi. Pickup the 993 this weekend, and want to take it out for a run sunday, (pending salty roads).

Can anyone reccomend any nice runs around New York.

I like Bear Mountain area.

Any routes people have or decent twisty roads light on trafic would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Phil

I used to live in Northern Westchester County. If you take Route 9 to the Bear Mountain Parkway (try early AM) you will have the time of your life in either direction.

Last Fall we had a pretty big gathering and followed this route. The road and scenery is fantastic. It's a great way to enjoy your new ride. If this is too much, go to Bear Mountain and get on 7 Lakes Drive off the Palisades. No explanation needed after that. Enjoy!

RT.17 to Exit 119.....RT.302 (21.0 miles)
Right on RT.302 toward Pine Bush, RT.52 (UFO Hot Spot) (10.0 miles)
Left on RT.52 toward Ellenville......(Overlook on left) (11.4 miles)
RT.52 down the hill to Berme Rd.

Institution Rd. to RT. 209
Right on RT. 209 to RT. 44/55 (3.7 miles)
Right on RT. 44/55 to RT. 299 (10.4 miles)

Left on Springtown Rd . toward RT.213, Rosendale (train trestle) (7.5 miles)
