This is the route I did this weekend. Pretty far from Albany, but if you’re ever down in southern new york this is worth checking out:
Stony Point, NY - Harriman State Park

“County Route 106” is like Deals Gap, only shorter but with tighter turns. Lots of 20, 25, and 30 mph turns and lots of elevation changes. I’ll try to take some video next time I’m on it. Its an old road with lots of bumps and cracks, so its challenging, but making it through at a moderate pace feels quite rewarding.

I can ride up from NYC and meet you guys at Bear Mountain. That place is ground zero for motorcycles on the weekend and a good place to start a ride.

Here’s another route in the same area, not far from Harriman State Park

This part of Route 9W is a two lane highway which goes over a small mtn. Some nice fast sweeping turns, with great views.
Storm King Hwy is very tight, with lots of tight turns over 90\*. Some good views of the Hudson River. Here’s some info on this road:

> The Storm King Highway is a three-mile (4.8 km) segment of New York State Route 218 (NY 218) between Lee Road in the Town of Highlands at the south end and the Cornwall-on-Hudson village line in Orange County, New York, in the United States. It was built in 1916 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 in recognition of its accomplishment in civil engineering. It is so named because it winds around the steep slopes of Storm King Mountain near its north end of the Hudson Highl...
