Upstate is a great place to ride, except in the dead of winter and early spring. Lake Placid is a pretty good place to ride but I prefer the southern Adirondacks, better shoulders and less traffic and you don't have to worry about drivers paying more attention to the spectacular views around the high peaks rather than the road.
