    This is a real tough question. I've been running these roads for several years and it is still real hard to answer. So, I keep running them hoping I can make up my mind!!

    If I had to pick just one favorite ... then it would be Push Mountain. After that it gets harder.

    Hope some of you can come on back and help be decide!!

    I have to agree with monk, too hard to decide, I learned to ride on these roads in the late 80s' (dating myself), I usually end up riding 16 the most, either to 23, 21, or 7, just too many great places here to choose just one

    Very hard question to answer. Reservebum and I put about 1400 miles on from Sunday afternoon till the following Sunday. I don't really remember hitting a bad road, Push Mountain, 7, 21, 23, 123 the list could go on. Great rides no matter where we went.

    With "Miss Big Sexy 2016" as my campaign manager, I might have a pretty good shot

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    Thank you so much Monk!
    It's hard to find these nice little 1 or 2 day rides without getting expert advice, experience beats a squiggly line on a map. Will definitely skip the tar and chip, your refined map is my new map.
    Thanks again.

    Wow! Had a fantastic 2 day ride through there.
    Finally got some good wear on the other sections of my tires.
    Beautiful area, but could only enjoy it peripherally, not many pull offs and those turns need your undivided attention.
    Thanks again for the route advice Monk, it was smooth sailing.
    Will be heading back soon.

    Glad you enjoyed the route. Yes, a lot of that is pretty remote, so there are very few developed places to take a break. But the curvy roads are assume.

    Monk,
    I wasn't able to make the rally but might try to do a couple day ride down that way, might be able to get a Friday off soon. Does this look like it might get some of the good roads covered?

    There is a short section of Rt 9 from 65 to Fairfield Bay that I did multiple times and it became my fave. Only about 8-10 miles but it had it all....
