i'm too tired to actually write it atm, so i'll add it later, but here are some pics and cliff notes:





i wish i had video, because this was the most insane, technical road i have ever seen. switchbacks, tight hairpins, elevation changes, the works. i think pashnit calls this road the "mini dragon" but honestly, deal's gap should be called "the mini-badger." 31 miles (iirc) of banked technical madness w/o the traffic and relatively clean. as well as the best damn cole slaw i've ever had, courtesy of the Mountain House.

This is a road that should be a destination for every rider West of the mississippi, but part of me doesn't want to share it, because i'm sure someone will expletive it up for everyone else

 

Good stuff... we need more pictures when you do this

 

Very nice, wish I was out there today

It looks like you got a good camera and a great road to ride on, lets get some more pictures! how about some with you on the bike!

 

for another epic. Did you do it all in one day or was this a 2+ day excursion?

not a lot of good riding pics, since most of us were busy riding, but pics can't really describe this road.
