This route has been updated, eliminating the Peekskill ending, not because it isn't great riding, but because motor traffic on 9W south of Cornwall and over Storm King make it dangerous.

From Fred:

Two turns not to miss.
The turn from well named Winding Hills Rd (which is not that hilly) onto
unsigned Corbett is at the W. Corbett Rd sign. Corbett takes you down a
steep twisting descent that should carry you almost into Montgomery.

After Maybrook, where Rt208 curves right is the L onto Forrester. People
tend to miss it because you're descending. If miss it you'll descend to T at
Rt207 and have to climb back up to Forrester. Pretty but unnecessary. From
this point you are on the Rt207 bike route to the Beacon-Newburgh Br.

I've taken the liberty of adding a Poughkeepsie ending as, as of this past year these roads have been in great shape, HS.
