CDawg,

Thanks for putting these up.

It helps tie together a few roads I often ride and introduced me to some new ones.

Also you might want to add Tiorati brook road as if comes off the PIP north in to the park to the traffic circle.
Definitely one of my favorites.

I added a couple more reservoirs in the Catskills, though the blue (sweeper) color I tried doesn't look right,  can you fix it.   ;D
It's been sooo long that I've ridden on the street.....

So, I obviously fail at this. I was trying to create a route to add Nissequogue River Road in LI to the map and ended up adding two placemarks instead that I can't delete. I'll stop messing up the map now.

Also, for anyone heading out to Peekamoose Road, be careful. I was there last weekend and a decent portion of the road is covered in gravel.

That's half the fun of it. :)

Yeah,  I think Peekamoose and Frost Valley Rd are usually dirty and covered with gravel.

Jimi,

Tiorati added.  Would you classify it as Twisty, Sweeper, or Scenic?  I've coded it black (unknown) for now.

Fixed!  It's setting the "Line Opacity" to 100.  Thanks!

No problem at all.  I removed the placemarkers and added the lines.  The line button is just beside the placemarker button.  You have to click on the "down" arrow to select "Draw a line along roads"

Quick question:  Would you rate Nissequogue  as twisty, sweeper, or scenic?  I've coded it black (unknown) for now.

Added a new twisty up by Lake George: CR-8

Thanks CDawg.

Nissequogue (the left part) is a twisty road. On the right after the turn, where it becomes Moriches road, it's more of a sweeper.

CDawg,

Tiorati would definatly be listed as twisty, short but twisty...
