Default Re: Your most thrilling road / journey ever ?

Whatever one I am on! Whatever one is next!...Whenever its DRY

But...The Stewarton road , down the road to the N260 in the Pyrenees. Love them and all the ones inbetween.

Even m/ways. The Shap (got the points to prove it) or the A8 in Northern Spain.

No... Never even heard of it, but I haven't lived there (Mt. Pleasant) since about 1990. Adelaide while being probably the nicest cities in the country is just a little too crowded for me now.

Ahh it's been around since 1930. I signed up last time I was there (2003?) for a few months. I have a good mate (genius with classic bikes) who lives in Tea Tree Gully and that's where I've stayed when visiting -not far from Mt Pleasant I think.

Hmmm... okay. Still never heard of it, not that I can recall anyway, but probably have met a few of its members along the way. I've never been much into clubs. It was just a few mates and I that spent Sunday mornings scratching in the Adelaide Hills and doing the rounds of the coffee shops. No affiliations. There were a couple of other groups of riders that were doing exactly the same thing so paths always crossed.
Tea Tree Gully is the bottom of the Gorge Road, Mt Pleasant is at the top end, but yeah, not far and a lot of fun either way.

So a gentle tour or did Mrs Carty leave claw marks all across your chest? That is one of those roads where I happily take it easy and enjoy it no less.
