Personally, I feel that the GTTSR is far more spectacular than The
Dragon...

As is the "Million Dollar Highway" - U.S. 550 between Durango & Silverton,
Colorado.

Since the Dragon seems to be overcrowded with squids, I suggest riding it on
a weekday in November, if weather permits.  I also found it more enjoyable
in a sports car as most of the curves are very tight.

Agreed. That is also a beautiful road. So's Beartooth Highway. And many
more.


..so tight that the average rider can never break the speed limit.

Here's an idea:  let's grab a bunch of Dragon squids and set 'em loose
on the Mt. Evans Road. We can all stand around and listen for when they
hit bottom minutes later, three thousand feet down.  :-)

The speed limit is 30.  You can break that on a bicycle if you're headed north.


I've ridden both.  Deal's is more challenging, Evans has a higher penalty for
missing the roadway.  

I circled the parking lot at the top of Evans three times before I could
remember why I was circling.  Once when I was there, I could see forever and
back.  The next time it was snowing. Visibility was less than 10 feet.  

In July.

30?  Have they lowered it? Last time I was there it was 45 mph, which
was in the year of the BMWRA vs. Cops rally.


Deal's is certainly smoother.


Aye. Me too. <g>
