...tell me about it. I relocated from NYC and yet still find it challenging to navigate the 'Burgh's old tangled narrow streets snaking over crazy hills and bridges. But those hills make for some nice twisties!

...and it's on a fantastic 2 mile loop so you can go back again, and again, and again!

I should mention the road is also used for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix every July, which I'm excited to hopefully see for the first time this year:

14,246 ft up Mt. Evans, only not nekkid

this time of year. MINI5280 took it's annual spring ritual trip up last Friday AM. Well, most of the way up. There is still too much snow. But the pics tell the story.

Come on out y'all and join us this summer, August 6-10 at MITM3. At that time, we do it at midnight, nekkid. 14,246 ft up, paved all the way. Nowhere else is there a road like that.

Pictures at www.DragonTales.Smugmug.com These pics are taken above Idaho Springs, up Chicago Canyon at the end of the 'Western Dragon'.

Bringing back a dead thread.

Mt. Nebo and Mt. Glorious" each around 550m above sea level (its Queensland, we don't have many of them), 50km of road and way too many corners to count.
