[p10] Skyline Blvd
There are many rides
along Skyline blvd. Here are a few I have done. (Inspired by this
great
ride description at chain reaction bicyle store
website)
- Off highway 92 on south 35
Park at the corner of Highway 92 and Skyline blvd south. The
climb starts immediatly and don't let untill for about 5
miles. I climbed from 900 feet at the bottom of Skyline &
highway 92 to 1900 feet within 4 mils. The road is
narrow 2 lane freeway with moderate to heavy vehicle
traffic (speed around 60mph!) . There is no shoulder
lane at all. And you are riding along while cars and
motorcycles whizzing by! There are plenty of curves where
motorcyclists really hug the curve - while going at 90mph.
For some reason Skyline seems to attract a lot of
motorcyclists.
I went 4 miles out when I almost got clipped two SUVs
around a curve within 2 mins. That (not the climb) stripped
my enthusiasm away. And I turned back
Would NOT recomend.
