OK, I've ridden both within several weeks, with Sedona's Oak Creek Canyon
thrown in as well. Conclusion? The Dragon doesn't begin to live up to its
reputation. Five riders die there each week during the summer months; some
crash head-on as a result of meeting on the center line. That's just dumb.
Riding there is dangerous even if you ride slowly. Too many bikes, and too
many inexperienced riders. A couple hundred curves in eleven miles. BFD.
Coronado Trail has 2200 curves in 69 miles, and you seldom see anyone else.
Ride it!

Is there so little to see along the CT that you had to count the
curves to entertain yourself?

Did you stop to rest and look around and try to decipher the
palimpsest of untold aeons of time?

When you paused and examined your surroundings, what did you find,
besides yourself?

What objects were you able to name, what objects seemed unknowable?

Did you rush back home, frightened of what you saw, but with the
resolve to tell others that one road was somehow better than another,
and how brave you were as you travelled through the unknown?
