Hey, my wife and I want to take a day road trip to enjoy our new GT4 for the first time and to do some breaking in. Up the Hudson river valley from NYC to Hudson or Rhinebeck would be nice. Any quiet scenic driving roads or stops anyone can recommend?



The area near Bard is beautiful, I know. Also the Olana estate.

I know there must be some HVR PCA folks here who know how it's done.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, so the answer was drive up from 9A past the cloisters through Spuyten Duyville (sp?) and Riverdale, up through Tarrytown to Croton on Hudson. Stop at Croton Point Park and enjoy the view. Then, up 9A to Cortland, then over to West Point, which was spectacular, insane views. Over Storm King Highway, which is gorgeous and insane, looks like the Stelvio Pass in Italy, and is deserted. Then on Bear Mountain Highway to the bridge, over to Blu Pointe on Front St. on the Newburgh waterfront for dinner at the raw bar. Then back over 87, 287, and Rt. 17, over the GWB and back to Manhattan. Wonderful drive.

Drive it up to Lime Rock tomorrow for the car show. Fantastic event and there will be some unbelievable cars. I'm leaving the city early around 730 in my RS if you want to meet up...I can show you some nice roads.

Great daytrip. I just ran similar one a couple of days ago, Peekskill and Cold Springs are interesting stops as well
