Buffalo to Ellicottville .. 219 or 240 or...?

Hi, Ive done the 219 in the past, and also some back roads.. The back roads were tar-snake covered so was thinking about the 240. Anyone take the 240 down to Ellicottville from Buffalo?

Heading down in a few days.

thanks.

The lure of 144 simply makes the fastest way the most appealing :D.

Go for it tho .....as long as you are not losing valuable twistie time ;)

I've taken 228 - Boston Springville Rd, once or twice. It's not as fast as 219 but a scenic alternative

I have this book(Motorcycle Journeys Through North America) I call my motorcycle bible and it says a good scenic route to take south from Buffalo is 62 which is on the western slopes of the Appalachians, but it is also a little farther west than where you're going.

Thanks, I'll look it up. but I'm meeting other riders in Ellicotville, just looking for a good way there.

Have added it for the ride back. Thanks

+1
Plus, you can stop at the Three Girls restaurant in North Boston if you go this route!

Part way down the 219 has many twisty roads - I just can't remember the route I took. You just need to find them.
Someone on site posted up a route a couple of years ago and it was fab. Was on the West side of 219.
Zoar Valley road was the start.
