    Skip 6 altogether. Too much traffic nd towns (and cops).

    Once you are on 120, make a side trip on Wycoff Run. It is not to be missed. If you have another day, Head a couple hrs south to Ravine and turn back northward on Rt 125...it is the best road I have found in PA yet.

    If you are headed south on 44 towards Ravine area, (which is is a great road with one of my favourite styles of rythm to ride), go right onto 664..it is only a short ride to Jersey Shore, but it is really fun and in great shape.
    Then south of LockHaven jump onto 445 up and over the mountain. Nice road and incredible panaroamic views of the whole valley floor below. Great photo ops and switchback turns too.

    Then use 235 to sweep your way south towards Ravine.....and get onto 125 and head north again.

    Lord how I hate riding through Olean NY. I've managed to plot around it the last couple of times I've been down that way. (Alright, I hate riding through most of the cities)
