Planning on checking this route out Sat if anyone wants to join.... it's an unscouted route, so I'll be taking it cautiously, sitting back and relaxing...

It's about a four hour trip from my house and back. I'm planning on leaving early, and hitting a quick lunch somewhere near Strasburg.

Don't mind meeting along the route and splitting off...

I know it's a bit far for some of you out East, but I'm planning on setting this up as a morning ride followed by a BBQ at my house later in the Summer.

That is a little far for me. I will see. I am still unsure of the weather. I would definitely be interested in a summer ride.

yeah, if it were any other route, I'd say go for it... but I picked that route for it's interesting mountain road features.... even I'll be taking it easy as I've never seen those roads before.... last time I did this, I had to make a major route change 'cause I ran right into a freshly topped gravel road.

The joys of scouting out new rides!

Don, how was the ride? Looks like it could be decent.

I'll have to get some vid up... The road through the wildlife park was horrible, but awesome scenery... lots of steep downhill turns with gravel everywhere made it hard to focus on anything but the road conditions...

Yesterday, I went down the "Zepp road" and it was bad, tires kept sliding all around, had to pull over and let cars go by because I could even stay at 35... so today and went and did it again with cutting out Zepp (map updated)...

I think for 2-5 experienced riders, it would be a nice couple hour afternoon ride, but it's not a speed road for sure, to many places with gravel.

I think I'll try it again in a couple weeks, with cutting out the wildlife park completely and just going straight across 59.
