Overall a very scenic road with lots of curves. I would recommend anyone in the area to pass through. The road surface is just OKAY. There are a lot of tar snakes so you'll have to decrease your pace a bit. If you ride at the speed limit you'll be fine. I also suggest riding Rt171 nearby. In better shape.

I can see where this road would have the potential to be a FANTASTIC stretch for any kind of riding. Unfortunately NYS DOT has covered all of the great stretches with slippery tar snakes. It ruined the road for us, and until it's repaved, makes those 15-20mph corners a little dicey.

I don't think Joe Rocket has been on this road recently - I took the Gorge Road four days ago on a quick trip to Cooperstown. The pavement is in excellent condition and is well maintained by NYS DOT. A couple of nice tight turns, a couple of sweepers, and no issues with dirt or debris in the corners. At the end of the gorge, consider continuing south another three or four miles on ST-51 to US Highway 20. Turning east will get you to Richfield Springs, or a turn west will get you to West Winfield - Both are small farming communities with great character - amenities are readily available.

This used to be a great road. But unfortunetly that has changed, the road is now horribly maintanied and animals are everywhere. Not to mention the motorcycle deaths every year, which brings more and more cops.....

I rode this on the back of another person's bike - in probably 1993. And it stuck with me! That's how amazing this short little ride is! I can't remember the last name of the guy I rode with, or exactly when it was, but this little ride was the stuff that I have dreamt about for years. Now I am planning to take my husband up through this gorge next summer.... and maybe run into Gary if I'm lucky!

I grew up on the Ilion end of this road. It has become a favorite of mine for a short ride. You do need to watch out for dirt and rocks from the slides that happen once in a while. It is a fun road.

I rode this today (5/22/2020) and the road is terrible. I went from rt 20 to Ilion and my entire Lane was at two different elevations, the whole time. It's like only half of the road had been repaved. 1/5 do not reccomend. Unless you have a trike.

The road is in need of repairs but all in all its still a very nice ride. Very scenic. Several places to stop and enjoy the views. This route also connects to Rt 20 (Cherry Valley ride)
