Have you drove/test it? Just curious...
Not yet, but it has a real presence to it. Definitely stole the show!

I wish Rennlist would update its backend so that we could click "Like" on posts such as yours to show you our appreciation without adding posts like the one I am adding now that clutters your awesome posts :-)

Thanks guys. I usually try to do this route mid-week to avoid the bikes, but i said screw it and hit it today. I think it is around 5 miles to the top. It is about 30 minutes from my house, so i try to go every month or two, especially if i only have an hour or so. I will get a full length video of it at some point. Very good road. At the top is Buffalo Bill Cody’s grave and museum.

Nice, Rob! I was in the area today too. I often fly radio controlled gliders from the switchback below the big “M”.

Great road with nice view

I just did that drive last weekend, always a blast even managing the bikes.

The downhill longboard skateboarders are much scarier than the bikers
