NYC Twisties

I am looking for a good route near NYC that has some fun twisties. Anyone have any favorite spots?

The Sprain Pkwy up towards Bear Mountain is nice. There are some nice roads in Nassau & Western Suffolk on the north shore but a lot of driveways and stuff. Still nice to ride though. Google map Wheatly Rd. in Nassau County.

Fun Rides

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...08647&t=h&z=12

This route I posted on the NYC Rollcall is out east in Suffolk County, there is a 3 mile stretch of roads with about 20-30 turns, long sweeping turns, tight turns, turns that change elevation, and long straightaways. A little far to get out here but definitely an awesome ride. It is the closest you can get to a roller coaster without the long lines. I tried finding that road you had mentioned in Nassau but couldn't find it, do you have a link for that on google maps?
