    What beautiful country side to bike in. You picked a good handle to go by because you sure love to climb. I could not do that on a bike. Heck I'd be scared to drive a car up and down some of those hills, or I should say mountains.

    Yeah, driving on the narrow part of that road would be hairy. While descending I was on the brakes so much I was concerned about the rims heating up enough to blow the tire off the rim, so I stopped three times to let the rims cool down. The rear was hot to the touch and the tire was slightly warm closest to the rim.

    I got one of the switchback pictures while waiting for the rims to cool down.
