Show Us Your Back Road

Let's be honest, we all have that one favorite road that we know we can hit when you just need a release. Post up a video of that road for us to show what you've got.

I am lucky enough to have two really good ones within 30 minutes of home. This is Route 44/55 in the Shawangunk region of NY by New Paltz. That first hairpin sweeps to just shy of 180 degrees going up hill. That really throws the suspension around in a good way.

The other one is 9W just north of Bear Mountain.

This isn't the greatest video, and anyone who has driven either of these roads can attest that the videos don't do them justice.

So, Post what you have. I am sure the CA guys have some nice canyon videos.

Edit: I just found a more exciting run of the first road headed in the reverse direction. 6:30 - 7:15 is a fun section.
