Comments
An excellent road containing a mix of all corner types.
Off camber, decreasing radius, hairpins, occasional sweepers, a few
straights, flip-flops. Fantastic! One corner mid-way has terrible
`pimpling' making it quite hazardous at speed. A few corners have
decreasing radiuses, and one or two are off camber.
Ride it a few times and find these corners, and the rest is just an
absolute hoot.
Scenery is very good with spectacular views available if you decide to
wander off to the various lookouts. Be wary of slow travelling tourists
and the odd bus because this is a popular tourist route.
Once you get to Zumsteins stop off and pay the kangaroos and wallabies
a visit.
