well , i realise that it is a good challenge for a rider lets say that has just a 2 or 3 seasons experience
we tend to forget it after so many years riding ...
probably when we go back , i ll take her on her bike to show what that mountain is all about ,
she probably not realise how twisty those curves are , especially with the elevation factor ...
we have a similar road in the laurentian , it s our little road course !!
the curves are really twisty , and same thing here ; there someone hitting the ditch at least every week-end when the weather is nice ...
to me , the big difference factor is the elevation on the 17 , wich if you dont take into consideration can easily take a rider by supprise , eighter going up , or down , not to mention those damm tar-snake that thez put a coule years ago ...
remember the first years we rode there with no tar-snake ...
hmmmmm it was simply a delight to shave tires there
ohhh well , it s just cosmetic repair .
ride safe , and a good season to all
