On my local twisty road, I met some young riders at the top of the mountain. They both had come up the mountain on very fast bikes, but were afraid to go down the steep, twisty road. Instead, they went west and took the Interstate down.

It is about 45 miles on the freeway just to get there. I did not go on the freeway until a few months ago so I was still getting comfortable with that. Plus the distance. Last time we went it was about 150 miles...up until then my longest ride had only been about 80 miles. I take the slow and steady approach to learning.
This road is
GOLD. We went yesterday (Saturday afternoon) and even though the freeway was pretty packed we only let four bikes (2 groups of two) pass up going the same direction as us. That was it! For about 40 miles on the beautiful road. Last time we went there were more bikes but still not bad...plus NO cops!
There is a sign at the bottom that says END 40 MPH...and that's it.
There are speed limit signs leading into the really tight turns but no where else. Pure heaven.
