Daughter is going to school up in Potsdam. Looking to ride up next weekend for a visit and wondering about any good riding roads I can hit while I'm up there. Suggestions appreciated!

Thanks, yeah I know Dave (Routemeister) from his web site and he lives about 5 minutes away from me here in Rochester. I was hoping to hear from some of the locals to get a find on some of the more technical roads in the area, if there are any.

This is a nice road...

I really don't know the area very well. Up in that country, it's pretty flat and the roads are rather straight. Not a lot of choices...as far as I know.

Depends on how far you want to ride in a day, the foothills of the Adirondacks is only a ten minute ride from where you will be. That would be my choice, weather this weekend will be A+, and what better place to go for a ride. We are opening a business located directly between Potsdam and Canton on St. Highway 310, so I am familiar with some roads around there. I will look at a map tomorrow to see names and numbers of roads and I will post them for you.

Thanks, blackdog. My ride is next weekend and here's hoping the weather is just as nice. Thanks in advance for any road recommendations!
