Thank you for posting this ride Ttocs. I drove over from Seattle and rode it clockwise and counterclockwise (August 21, 2018) What a blast and what a spanking. A bit of everything - micro-talc-sand, a bit of road, and a LOT of gravel in great condition. And none of it flat! Plenty of gravel corners to test one's mettle while drifting. It reminded me of riding the Eroica in Sienna, Italy on the white gravel roads and through the beautiful, rolling countryside. Worth the 4.5 hour drive!
