There’s plenty of great routes up there, but not the same skill tests that mountain roads provide. Commitment from those guys (you all know who you are) will go a long way to making this work. While I think there’s something for everyone there, I’m not a good rider and might not have the same perspective on the area as better riders might have.
Haha i wouldnt worry about that. A lack of Hairpins is not something that deters the go fast folks. Hairpins dont help us go fast, they make us slam on our brakes. The only thing I want from a ride is to spend as little time as possible on the center of my tires. Radius turns and S-curves do that perfectly well. Repeated Hairpins can actually result in less confident flow. My ideal road (and i think many would agree) looks like this:

but hey, tantalize us. draw up a route you would want to do and post a link here. i'm interested in what you would do up there because i have zero idea which way to point my maps to even begin.
