Its been an interesting week and although this is the final leg of our trip, there are still great views to take in. We decided to head over the Hawks Nest via route 97 and then back onto Route 6 heading to the Bear Mountain bridge.
If you haven’t taken a ride through the Hawks Nest on Route 97 near Port Jervis,NY, your missing out. Route 97 flanks the Delaware river and then heads up over the mountain pass. Featured on many car commercials, the Hawks Nest has the best twisting turns that can be found around. It’s a lot of fun riding through this area and on weekends you often see literally hundreds of bikes coming through the pass. During the week however its not as busy but the views are still awesome.
Unfortunately we are getting closer to our final destination, but one last sightseeing stopover after the Bear Mountain bridge before we move on.
The last stop is in Ossining, NY, for lunch at Anthony’s Sports Bar (aka Main Street Steakhouse). Literally under renovation when we stopped. Some fellow bike fans run the place and rustled up some great lunch for us between painting the walls. Through Tarrytown and eventuallyback into the Rat Race of the Long Island and its congested expressways. We will do this again for sure.
