The big one. This route grabs the visually stunning cliffside Storm King Highway over the Hudson, then cuts west across the mountains through Cuddebackville's country roads until it reaches the Hawk's Nest switchbacks above the Delaware. Two of the East Coast's most photographed motorcycle roads, 128 miles, and a legitimate excuse to take the whole day.
The actual road-by-road line, routed by TwoTired's own engine — every curve you see is pavement you'll ride.

Local knowledge
This is a fuel-stop-required ride — plan around Cornwall and Port Jervis. Check NY-218 status (closes for weather/rockfall). Doing it clockwise puts the sun behind you at Hawk's Nest in late afternoon.
