I might be interested. Bear Mountain is alright, but Hawk's Nest is definitely much better IMO. I was just at Hawk's Nest earlier this morning, it's deserted during the weekdays, absolutely perfect if you don't have work. I attached a crappy cell phone pic (forgot my camera battery at home), maybe we can do a Hawk's Nest ride one week if you guys want (sorry for hijacking your thread).

Depending on how much I like Bear Mountain I'd like to go to Hawks Nest. I've never done twistys. Going to BM to try twistys, the scenery, and the camaraderie. No need to apologize BTW, I appreciate your reply! |

BM is over rated. You ride 45 minutes to get there and get 5 minutes of twisty. Plus the road is pretty bad when you get closer to the light house.

I will probably be going up there this weekend again. Possibly Saturday, if not Saturday, definitely Sunday. I pretty much just take route 17N through NY, then 6W and I-84W takes you right to Port Jervis, NY. Hawk's nest is literally 2 miles from exit 1 off of I-84W. If your close by route 23, you can take that all the way up to Port Jervis as well (Just Google directions to Port Jervis, NY and map out the easiest route for yourself). I just take 17N through NY because it is a pretty fun/kinda twisty road and beats traveling on the Thruway. If you're anywhere near Hasbrouck Heights I'd gladly ride up there with you. |

Sorry, when I said I'd like to go to HN depending on how much I like BM, I meant depending on how much I like doing the twistys. Not specifically how much I like BM. Sorry about that. I'm a new rider and not sure yet whether I'll actually like doing twistys. I might be more of a ride just to ride type of person. Thanks for the review though, I appreciate it. And thanks for the invite.

If I don't wake up on time for a HN ride, I'd like to come to this one. Would you happen to know if this group is OK with new riders? I don't really expect a reply considering the time. If I go to this one, I don't mind going to the meeting place, asking, and if they're not OK with it then leaving.
