Hi there! My whole family is from the Westfield Area, I went to College at Williams, and I grew up and now live in Niskayuna / Schenectady. I know area this are pretty well...

I know what you are looking for, it it really starts on Route 30 in Schoharie. If you were to drive to the Middleburgh exits off of I88, park somewhere in Schoharie, and then ride North toward Amsterdam or Fort Plain, you will literally see people driving horse draw buggies. Be warned, however: There is relatively ZERO biking infrastructure in this area. I was a city commuter for most of my twenties, so rural Upstate traffic seems very "light" to me. If, however, you are not used to cars zooming by at 60mph on rural roads, this might not be a trip worth doing. Also, if you stay on 30 for too long, you end up in the Mohawk Valley Rustbelt, which has some great biking, but it isn't nearly as rural as you seem to want.
