Mid-summer is peak riding and peak traffic. Ride smart and make the most of it.
Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the East, anchors a day of riding through the Genesee valley and the Southern Tier hills toward Ellicottville. Real curves, gorges, and small-town stops the whole way.
Western New York packs its riding into a short season, so make the most of it, but watch for deer at dawn and dusk, sudden lake-effect downpours, and gravel on the backroad corners. Slow early and leave room.
