Beartooth
Aspen to Leadville
On a Harley several times, I wouldn't call it scary. Just a ride.

I was born at night, but not last night.
Odds are with the prepared...
Missing scariest drives
Besides the obvious "Going to the Sun" road in Glacier N.P., how about I-696 in Detroit or
M-46 in Tuscola County.
Highway 50, from Utah state line to Nevada state line... on a bicycle.

i've done 2 of them. Hyway 1/Big Sur and Dalton. I will throw in another one; Hyway 129 in WA going south out of Anatone, before they put the gaurd rails in, scary.

ON A Bicycle?????Originally Posted by jburge
wow I used to live in ELY which is on the end of this road, never drove it in the winter, took a uhall van over it in the summer. I have driven far worse in the summer, I was never desperate enough to drive it in the winter. But doing it on a bicycle, wow.

Eric-WD, yeah, well, I was kinda nuts then. Matter of fact it was a straight through trip, in my preparation for a race. Non-stop ride with support following me the whole way. Awesome road at 2:00 in the morning
And DruLeeParsec, you are in my neck of the woods! I'd rather do Iowa Hill on my bike (which I've done plenty of times) than in a car. Uphill is a monster, and wait 'til you have a front tire go flat as you're coming downhill. It was an exciting day! BTW, have you fished downstream from the bridge? I've caught some feisty 'bows down there.

I'm one of those that revels in twisty roads.
Speaking of Harleys. Got behind a couple on 2 Harleys. The lady was obviously a new rider or scared to death. Was going up "Million Dollar Highway" out of Ouray, Co. in a rental Jeep and these folks were going literally 20 mph and we had cars stacked up behind them like crazy. We came to a road construction area and I got out and asked if I could go ahead of them. You'da thought I asked if I could violate her by their rude response. I went by them anyway the first time I got the chance.
Hate to say this but sometimes Harley riders can be the rudest!! Most are just fine but some seem to love confrontation.

Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
Does every time my girlfriend drives in traffic count for this?
