I head east, up and down across the hills like a roller coaster. A good hill workout. The surroundings aren't anywhere near as barren. Woods, farms, homes, lakes, rivers. Probably the nicest part of the state.
Riding downhill is great here.
Like a land luge. Fast, with plenty of twists and turns. A rocket fast drop into Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake followed by a serious climb back out. Crosswinds knock the bike around. Great views from the tops of the hills.
