pilninggas Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've done almost all of the top mainland roads here in Europe. Stelvio, Trollstigen, Transfargarasan, road to the dead end on the Mulhacen among many others. The Dolomites and Central CH have the most memorable passes: Pordoi, Furka, Grimsel, Sella among a few others. Only driven a car in US (Cali and NV) - maybe ill do Cali on a bike one day. Once this bloody pandemic is done, i will be riding Europe on the Niken. Cant wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just after you get to the end of the curve, the road is adorned with fresh asphalt, and goes for around 20-25 miles following the Snoqualmie river back through some of the most beautiful country in Washington state. Which road? I am near you. Sounds similar to the Middle Fork Snoqualmie road... 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fjray Posted February 1, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've been lucky enough to go to Europe for one week with the Motorcyclist magazine Alps Challenge tour. It was great fun but like has been pointed out here many times, there's a bunch of roads around here to ride that are damn good too. I disagree with the Natchez Trace Parkway being a good road to ride. I think I'd rather take a beating than ride that again. There's lots of good roads in the Smokies that don't involve flying across the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of PCH near Big Sur collapsed into the Pacific Ocean. 😫 Section of Highway 1 in California Collapses After Heavy Rains - The New York Times A section of the scenic road near Big Sur collapsed after heavy rains. That has caused me to reroute Odyssey 2021. Oh well, there’s always next year. 1 Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it pays off to be flexible and always have an alternate route/destination just in case. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't give up hope *just* yet. You might be able to get as far south as Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd and take that inland. Or alternatively, take it from inland to the coast. The road is worth doing all on it's own anyway. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that road is right in the middle of the closure. According to Google Maps and Caltrans the closure goes from just south of Big Sur down to Ragged Point. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The washout (assuming there is only one) is way further south towards Rat Creek as far as I could tell. 1 '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
