a photo ode to a twisty road- post yours!

Went for a drive in cheyenne canyon today and couldnt resist sharing the sickness that is that road.


1000ft vert in 5 min (first)

Directions. Exit nevada on I25 in colorado springs. Take a right where it merges into cheyenne drive. Things get interesting after the "Y" junction for seven falls.

Google earth2 (my favorite part):

A nice twist in my plans

At the end, a waterfall:

You cant not fade your brakes on the way down. (first)

Post pics of your own favorite twisty!

318 turns in 11 miles

US129 - Deal's GAP/"Tail of the dragon"

nice.

A friend of mine is moving to NC I will be sure to hit that up if I go visit.

how is law enforcement? one reason I like cheyenne so much is that its pretty much a dead end (without offroading). Not patrolled too often.

I live 15 mins from Deal's Gap "The Dragon" its a cool place

no cops on the dragon itself but at the "0" mile marker, tabcat bridge up at the top of the map above, there is often a cop there. just make sure to slow down once the forrest "clears" a little, before you hit the bridge. the road also straightens out some so you know you are the end...or the beginning if you started from the south.
