Comment: I've used this route many times heading East on my way to Laconia NH for Bike Week. Bring you back to the late 50's early 60's before the highway system took over. nice wide road with history all along the way

Comment: A really nice, peaceful, easy cruise. Also alot of good stops either on the route or just off it. Cooperstown, the Ommegang Brewery just south in Milford, Sharon Springs (a nice old spa town) and Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse!
