Hardknot pass

Forget that, no way am I taking my pride and joy up there, if I had a dirt bike then perhaps but my nice clean GTR is not doing that.

Next.

We will scub that off next years to do list then Alan.

Why would you miss up an opportunity to ride that route?

Ay 10 mph all the way and stopping for cars? Not my idea of riding a bike like the GTR.

You got that right!  Too much of a parade.  I like the BRP (Blue Ridge Parkway) but the limit is 45mph.  It's enforced more in NC than VA but I've had more than a few rangers flash their lights on me and then you have to watch out for the bicycles that ride in the middle of the road around corners and the motor homes driven by 80 year olds that stop to look at  bunny rabbits and they stop in the middle of the road as well, the motor homes, not the bunny rabbits.  Rabbits that do that don't survive long.

I've done it lots of times, but never with that much traffic on it. I actually think that the views when going up the Wrynose ( as you did the year before last) are better than the Hardknott.

The above video was taken on a Bank Holiday weekend, not the best time to ride the route!
