Ridgeracer Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 So I wanted to try some new ways of getting home instead of sitting in traffic on the Merrit Parkway North so I mapquest a copy of routes to getting around that parking lot. Man, if there is anything that I actually like about CT it has to be the back routes. I think my favorite so far has to be Cross Hwy. Can we say winding roads + Ksports + RSB + ProTuned LGT? Anyone else in the Northeast have a favorite they care to share? "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shediesforhim Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I love going through the backroads from Stamford, to Pound Ridge, NY, then to Danbury, CT. Very very windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLo Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Man! Do I love me a good drive between NYC and Monticello going up Route #17 and Route #55. Nice, nice drive. First started doing it as a kid going to Ten Mile River (Aquehonga). If you ever need a weekend or even a day trip, consider that drive, rent canoes, and do a day or two trip down the Delaware. Combined with the drive, it can't be beat. Not too expensive either. ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewsalinger Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I love going through the backroads from Stamford, to Pound Ridge, NY, then to Danbury, CT. Very very windy. This is a great route indeed, I take this route whenever I go to visit my parents place. Can't be beat especially if nobody is in front of you, hugging the tight corners around the rock cliffs.

TRAC3 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 if you're looking for a good drive, search for CLiffs of Insanity or COI on audiworld.... that's always a great time corner carving... up by Bear Mountain pkwy bear mtn bridge area.... I love going through the backroads from Stamford, to Pound Ridge, NY, then to Danbury, CT. Very very windy. agreed... there are a couple different routes that I take to get up towards ridgefield or DA, and they all involve some nice little roads... the merritt itself can be pretty fun if there are no cops about and no traffic....

Aczwild Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Lincoln Pond Rd, between Elisabethtown and Mineville, NY, RTE 125 from East Middlebury to Hancock, VT and the Bethel Mountain Rd. from Rochester to Bethel, VT (if attempting in the winter, I suggest a large set of cahones, nasty winter tires, and 4WD/AWD) JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

KartRacerBoy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I love going through the backroads from Stamford, to Pound Ridge, NY, then to Danbury, CT. Very very windy. I had many conversations with men in uniform for traveling these very roads in my 1973 Honda Civic hatchback. 1300 lbs, 60 hp, beat suspension. Every turn a challenge. Every cop a few more points on my license. And there was always the benefit of scaring a Mercedes or Rolls Royce with my crappy Civic. Body damage! Be off with you! Sweet roads, sweet cars, sweet teenage women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can unload all my road stories! In 1980, I went to Colorado Univ in Boulder and was a bike guy. A Honda dealership let me take a test ride on a new Honda CB750F into Boulder canyon (at 19 years old!). The guy said "If you're not back in 45 minutes, I'll be worried. Have fun." It was a death warrant but somehow I came back alive with merely soiled panties. My motorcycle at the time was a 35 hp 1973 Honda CB350. Needless to say, I didn't buy the 750F but I dream of that bike to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderguy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Was the road even paved then? (Couldn't pass up a good cheap shot ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 What are you, 10???? Hell, ya, it was paved. And motorcycles had CARBs. And Boulder girls were as horny then as they are now. MOVE b4 you have a daughter, son. We college boys loved the high school girls at our parties. And I'm sure we committed a few felonies (but with cooperation). DO NOT HAVE DAUGHTERS IN BOULDER. IMHO.

Boulderguy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Was dirt even invented back then? :lol: Just playing with ya. I started CU in '89 & remember well enough to consider boarding schools for my daughters, should that ever happen. The place has changed so much since then - I'd love to have seen it in '80 (when I WAS ten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
