If you think the state line is a killer, just wait till you get out to bear mountain. But it's a beautiful climb and well worth the 60 mile ride out there from BK. When I get home after a 140 mile Bear ride I usually eat everything in the fridge...
Sweet jesus..
aka the Gran Fondo NY

I saw the Strava info for that last night, 4.x miles with 1500' elevation gain. WOW.
