    Mt. Elmira Rd. just off 1526/Brooks Rd.

    I had a friend tell me about this one; Mt. Elmira Rd. Wow, what a blast! Lots of fun since you can see through the corners with the leaves still gone. It is a decent paved road but doesn't have a center line. Still Good to ride and very little traffic.

    Make sure you use the hybrid map.

    The regular riders here will almost unanimously agree with you about this road Patrick. As we've all been on it. I'm actually shocked it hasn't been mentioned in it's own thread until now. But as you hinted upon, it's only shortcomings are it's a lane and a half, and mainly blind corners once the leaves come in. Still a great road though

    We usually use it to tie in a quick trip from Brooks, to 44, to Skyview

    The first time I was on Elmira was the time she lead us up there shortly after she just got her 600RR.
