What a ride indeed! Fantastic video mate. 👍 4:23 Those cars seem to be parked quite close to the edge haha

[@Garrettb214]

Thank you! I have 20 to 30 more still unedited from across the country. Those cars are parked very close! There were some even closer than that on the way down.

Man, that is a beautiful drive! But I don't know if I could handle it -- just watching the video made me tense up and I found myself repeatedly holding my breath.
Thanks for sharing this. Even if I thought I were brave enough, I'll probably never have the opportunity to do this myself.

It is quite the drive. I wasn't too tense when driving but my passenger's hands were sweating the whole way. The key is to not look down if you are driving. I also tended to hug the center of the road when I had the drop off on my right.

What month was this? We drove it in late August and didn’t see any snow. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to pedal a bike to the top!

[@Garrettb214]

It was early July. It was pretty chilly at the top!
