after driving from NYC to Albany via NYS thruway for over 5 years...I love the drive. After a while you can figure out a trend of where the cop hot spots are...clean roads no pot holes to worry about...just long smooth straight open road.
I usually take 17N thru jersey to get to the thruway...that on the other hand is a different story.

very true... they are still out there but they are so predictable where they stay... exit 16-17, exit 19-20 are major hot spots
as for riding on your bike, ive done it many times... becareful because there are flat spots around and thats where the wind picks up.... There are times where im riding next to a hill and then it flattens out and then my bike becomes unstable... its very fun on the thru way tho
Ive been riding this whole past week, except Wednesday there was a little snow, and yesterday because I wasnt around my bike. Today was awesome out.
But yea I cant wait for the 70s though.

It's in the high 40's today... might have been a bit colder since I was making my way up a mountain. I went out for a ride and had to get some gas. The gas attendant came out and was all like, "How the hell are you riding in this cold?"
Can't wait for the 60's-70's so I can start hitting something other than highways.
