    I may get out later in the afternoon but I'm not 100% yet.

    I know this thread has been dead for awhile, but I rode this route earlier today. I liked it very much, but I need to ride it a few more times before I get it all memorized so that I can open things up a bit more.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Roads kinda soft in spots. Gotta be careful. That's the problem with what is essentially a neighborhood road. All the driveways and everything make for a bit of a mess.

    Yes...I agree. When I was younger, things like driveways did not hinder me. However, now that I am older, driveways and the like send out waves that say..."Hey...a car may be pulling out here!" LOL

    Thus, I took it WAY easy in many of the good turns just because I did not know what was beyond the corner entry.

    Keep in mind, that since this thread was started, I've now come to the belief that this may be the least motorcycle friendly road in Jefferson county. At least roads in the twisty variety. Reason being, almost everytime I go down it, I get fists shaken at me, and folks yelling in my general direction. Those of you that know me, know that I'm not the type to go riding down a road full of driveways, and no center lane, all banzai style. Fast sure, but not so fast to warrant this sort of attitude.

    Just be mindful of this while taking this road, and dial it back a touch. As this may be the first road we talk about on here that, IMO, has the potential of having some oil "accidentally" spilled in a corner or two.
