We
undertook the ride while we were at the Americade. Fun as
the event was, it didn't provide a whole bunch of eye candy,
unless you are into trikes, and side cars. We heard the
Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs had a vintage motorcycle
show going on, so off we went. The ride was worth the trip,
though. The town is lovely! The Museum is located outside
of the center of the town, in part of the old Springs resort
area. The ride itself wanders along a river and Lake sides.
A very pretty and quiet ride.

Just
fine. Some twists, but not a lot of inclines, or anything
hairy.

Shopping
in Saratoga Springs, the Track, The Museums (there's a bunch),
the Springs. Tons of ice cream shops along the way. This
ride culminates with a trip to the Saratoga
Auto museum is great! When we got to Saratoga Springs,
we picked up a visitor's map. It looked on the map like
the Auto Museum was about 4 blocks out of the center of
town. Au Contraire. It's more like 3 miles. So unless you
like trudging along for 3 miles in motorcycle gear, and
we didn't much, ride your bikes out to the Museum. It's
worth the trip, though.

During Americade this route is quite popular, but that often translates into a lot of traffic. Be careful in Saratoga, it's a zoo in late summer racetrack season, lots of inconsiderate people in a rush to make post time.
Plenty of food/gas in Warrensburg
