Trials and tribulations of one of my favourite rides

[url]http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckb_HahVf&&feature=related
This is a section of public road and the main reason why it is one of my all time favouriite rides outside Melbourne and a sample of the Richard Heads we often meet. Speeds exceed 190kmph occasionally and I've pulled one individual from a tree whos only response was "gee - that was tight". This section is a great 10km climb and as fast a winding descent as you can get on a bicycle, as my mate says "your tyres will handle way more than your head can" Unfortunaltley up to 50 or 60 motorcyclists can pass you up and down and the show no repect for the centre line.
Click on any of the related links to the area and you'll see why weekend cycling is almost out of the question.
