Gmoe Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 It would be cool to have more area specific threads for this kind of thing, but here goes anyway. Here's a great road near Lake Ontario in Rochester/Irondequoit, NY for a spirited cruise. This is right down the street from my house. I take this road whenever I have an excuse. It's only a few miles long, but let's just say that it's less than straight the whole way. I am not suggesting that you go out and drive like a lunatic down this road. You will eat a deer or get a ticket if you go overboard. There are LOADS of deer in this area esp. in the Spring/Summer. Be careful as always. Google Map Let's see yours.

Magowin Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Theres a road behind the Raritan River starting in Raritan NJ and leading into North Branch called the 9 mile from whoever lives in this area. I don't know the actual name of the road. Its a great road to test your handling. I take all my cars there and play. Just watch because one turn you'll either end up in the river or in a brick fence.

NEPA Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Haha! Durand Eastman Park, Irondequoit.... Right next to my Grandmother's - I've driven that road dozens of times, but it's kinda hard to have much fun with my 98 year old grandmother squealing next to me! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilT Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 About a mile from my house, this road goes directly up the Niagara Escarpment. A mile long with an increase in elevation of 180 ft, and two hairpin turns. :) http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105536096150348023292.00000112bbc914f98caea&om=1&ll=43.20272,-79.675105&spn=0.008947,0.023389&t=k&z=16 Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was going to post it, but had to do it again before I could be sure which route it was on the map.) We'll probably go home to the 'rents in Sept. taking that route.

devobuzz Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 by the duke estate? river road maybe? i had a friend who died there.. hit ice and went into a tree Could be. I drive that road heading to the Somerville car show on Fridays. The road is OK but I wouldn't call it the best. Sorry to hear about your friend. Ice is the worst. Anyone notice the increase in motorcycle accidents lately? I guess everyone is buying a bike nowadays. Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJ Proez Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Bear Mountain Road from the circle in front of the Mobil station to the bear mountain bridge. It's only good late at night though when no other cars are on the road because everyone likes driving 5 mph during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
