Fantasy tour...
 
Just found this web page (via 'Stumbleupon') - wouldn't it be great to come across all these roads on the same tour? I *really* like the rollercoaster in pic 4.

Great roads...

I think I've been on some of those roads!!

#2 looks like something on the Boston-Montreal-Boston

#3 & 6 look like Manitoba, or maybe Hwy 36 from Colorado to Kansas.

yeah the last one is in Utah, leading south to Monument Valley... one of the best places on earth!

Monument valley is part of my next most-likely tour! I've driven there (in a windstorm, eek!), but not ridden yet. Gorgeous area.

I had with in Cuba - unfortunately the pavement was broken, so I could go down with the same speed as up. Wasn't fun at all:D

Hi,

[QUOTE=MichaelW;7909391]Coming off the Picos de Europas in Spain[QUOTE]

Nice road - Did I missed that? There was it exactly?

I went from Potes - Fuente Dé - then over hiking path to Cains - Cabrales - and finally to Covadonga...

You've seen them a bunch of times, but still a couple of my favorites.

I'll always remember this one—just for the quality of light—which doesn't show at all here, but I remember very well...
