Ultimately maybe I could have headed out of town this weekend, πŸ•οΈ but that's behind me and I found ways to be busy and have fun riding down to Henry Hudson and Hollyhock Preserve this weekend. And doing lots of reading. I'm hoping for better weather next weekend, but maybe it's time to get out of town regardless.

Wurstboro Curve

The old Wurstboro Curve was known to be very taxing on the old fashioned cars brakes. The Quickway with its large sweeping curve is less steep and more gentle but it's hardly a flat road.Β

Back in the 1930s, Robert Moses proposed and started constructing a parkway that would run along the lake shore of Lake Ontario, connecting Niagara Falls, Rochester, Oswego, and ultimately Watertown, Massena, and Malone, roughly parallel to the local routes now known as NY 104 and NY 3. Only about 35 miles of the parkway were ultimately built west of Rochester, leaving a 30 mile gap between the Robert Moses Parkway in Fort Niagara to Lakeside Beach Park in Carlton, Orleans County.
