Been on the Dragon, it’s all right. Did it once, got the sticker and pic.
Lived on the Kanc at least once a week for 2 1/2 years living in South Conway NH. Glad 100 in VT wasn’t on the list. That was always a good road.

3 for me

Good list. I did four of them so far, most of them just by being at COG Nationals.

 

[connie_rider]

4 for me.
Dragon/Pikes Peak/Snake/Sisters.
Like 4bikes, (those 4 and a lot more roads) were due to COG Nationals.

If you haven't been to a COG National,,, DO IT!!!

Ride safe, Ted

CA 1, Angeles Crest, and Valley of Fire.

Though I'll say that the section of CA 130 between The Junction/Mines Rd and San Jose is the most deliciously curvy (and dangerous) road I've ever ridden at speed..... CRAZY gnarly....

Those are cool roads, but it seems to me like there are some seriously gnarly, way less travelled roads to ride.

My FAVORITE loop (that I'd do every Thanksgiving) when I was based out of Santa Barbara was:

• CA SR 192 E (Foothill Rd) to Montecito
• CA SR 150 E to Ojai
• CA SR 33 N past Taft to McKittrick
• CA SR 58 W to Santa Margarita
• CA SR 101 S to Los Olivos
• CA SR 154 E back to Santa Barbara

About 310 miles, through AMAZING country, including the Carrizo Plain National Monument. And the roads would be EMPTY, on account of it being Turkey Day. Being able to sit at 110-120 for MILES at a time is AWESOME, and that's to say nothing compared to hard charging up mountain twisties...

I miss California.....

I would agree with that.

Been on 3 of these. I spend way too much time in the Hocking Hills obviously and need to get out a little bit. Ohio 78/278/56/93/555 and more kept me busy over there. Not sure I am ever gonna get out to the western states to pick those up.

3. Dang, I’ve got some riding to do!

 

[jim snyder]

3 for me as well. However I know atleast a dozen roads in North Central Arkansas that are better then the sisters.

 

[connie_rider]

I agree with Jim and will be riding the Arkansas roads again when I get the chance.

I've been fortunate enough to ride a road that puts them all to shame.
Passo Stelvio!

Stelvio is only 1 of many great roads in Europe, and a group of us are considering the Alps/other again next year.
Woo-hoo!!

Ride safe, Ted

That looks like all hairpin turns. Not my cup of tea.

 

[connie_rider]

Those are only the upper curves. The lower are very similar to Arkansas.

Ride safe, Ted
