Altamont is a nice to bike through and around

Reminds me of some of the Appalachian Mountain towns in the hollars but much more swanky. As is Altamont Road – NY 157 below the escarpment. Decent shoulders though a bit rough in a few places, very scenic.

Only real hill on trip was NY 146 heading into Altamont and even that isn’t too bad but what do I know I ride the State Street Hill regularly, well up Warren Street and Park Street not Madison these days but it’s still the same climb. The rest was generally flat or gentle grades, like going out past the Industrial Depot.

Anything that reminds me a bit of Appalachia puts a smile on my face. It was a great trip, around 32 miles round trip.
