Mohonk Rd/Rt 6? That's where I hit my top speed, without really trying. Good times. It was somewhere between 50 and 55 too.
I think that I'll be heading up there in a few weeks. I might bring tubulars this time. The thought of losing a tire at that speed is a bit scary, but I don't know how much a wobbly piece of rubber would help you out at that speed anyway.
