Taking my normal route on thursday, 5/3/12 around Bear mountain, NY...anyone is welcome to join! as the title says these roads are very twisty...goin from decreased radius turns, pretty good back to back sweeps, a lot of elevation changes and the best thing is there is not too much highway miles just the good stuff!!:rockon:

heres the map check it out: THE RIDE

Meeting place: palisades mall parking lot ( gas station close by if u need )
Time: 9:30/10:00

i hope four days prior is good enough time for some people to make it

I was just there the other day...great ride love, riding up to the top.

Unfortunately work during the weekdays...makes me sad. Have a good and safe ride though!

All that good stuff you are riding on the west side of the Hudson are my normal routes! I am going to try and make this; but I may have to meet you part way through. What are your riding habits like? Gonna try and gauge your time hacks.

If people come Im going to assume that people have never hit these roads before so i will take it slow on the twisty parts (40-50mph max on rt 106/rt 17a/rt 218) (rt 301 we can hit a little faster depending on traffic and cops) but on the highways/straights we'll make good timing (70-85mph max)

Hey, if it doesn't rain, we'll meet you at your start point at 10ish (will shoot for earlier, but we're coming from brooklyn, so we WILL hit morning traffic).

Tomorrow eve, can you PM me your # so I can call/txt if we're really late etc? -- assuming we'll be on :thumbup:
