Thank you, Ken! I thoroughly enjoyed the 43 minutes of calm, cool and relaxed ride.

Rock: It's a Fujifilm FinePix F20 6.3MP.
Art: I was slooooow, especially towards the end because I was really tired. But yeah I'm excited for Sunday. Check out the thread again. I changed up the route slightly. I've watched my vid a few times already to remember the curves better and staring at google maps for Cerro Noroeste. It's going to be fun.

Your vid has excellent resolution. I wouldn't have guessed it was from a still camera. I like it so much, partly due to its vid quality, but also due to its respectable and responsible ambiance (as opposed to those I posted in the thread "What is a squid? - noob", that I've embedded in my site www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr. I hope it is okay with you. If not, just let me know and I'll remove it. Good riding! Anthony |

Cerro Noroeste is one of my favorite roads of all time. Wish I could hit it more often than I do...

If you haven't tried the Sea-to-Sky Highway ("S2S") here in Vancouver, BC, it would be prime to include in your future roster of must-rides. 1.5 hours' worth of up-cliff/down-cliff twisties. It will be very busy in Feb. 2010 due to the Winter Olympics, but come spring or summer, will be fluent and in new condition. I haven't ridden it since its major renovation for the Olympics, but previously, it was called "The most dangerous highway in N. America". Even if this were an overstatement, it will prove tremendous fun, guaranteed. |

Ken's route came close to it, but if he followed the map he posted, he made a left at Lockwood to head southwest, if you head to the right there instead it takes you to Cuddy Valley road which eventually meets Cerro Noreoeste, which is more straight west, and maybe even slightly northwest.

Anthony: No problem with using the vid. I didn't realize you weren't being sarcastic about my video, since everyone are more interested in people going 100mph in the canyons.
Alex: Do you remember how fast you were going through the twisties on Cerro Neroeste?

I always take that road at a, umm, brisk pace. Speeds vary as the corners vary, but it is one of those rare and wonderful roads that combines great corners with great visibility, along with being out in the middle of nowhere. A good portion of the road can "hypothetically" be enjoyed at pretty elevated speeds.

I hope it's better than Lockwood because it was really filthy with running water in the curves, rocks, the whole works...also there was no guardrails at certain points I slowed down to like 25mph or so to take it easy (riding by myself so there's no way to call for help up there).
I don't plan on riding off the road but riding on a road without guardrails really affects my riding knowing there's nothing to keep me on the road in case I start sliding due to debris, sand, running water, etc.
