Correct, but it was two weeks ago. They're into the preparations, started trimming back the verges. Some of the riders are starting to visit and refresh their memory of the circuit. Practice starts in a couple of weeks.

It's the McStelvio Pass, see page 23 of this topic. :D
Though I wouldn't want to do it in the dark or fog! :shock:
 
Yes ...The Cow Pass..... It was my first time ....a friend had crashed out lower down and I had waited with him till he was safely recovered then I continued onto our camp at Applecross.

I guessed it had been done before ..... but its the only road pictures I have that you would recognise
 
The Chinese even copied Route 66?!

Naming the road would be good; but, I think I'll accept even just the name of the river

Didn't mean to keep it hanging for so long. It's the Loire River--the longest river in France. That's Le Berry on the far side, which is just an extension of Gien on the side I'm standing.
 
It's the type of road most of us prefer to avoid, but here, there's not much else to choose from. No matter; it's a beautiful route. Name it.

Hey Todd! Out of Honey Dew on Mattole Road, south of Ferndale. My brother and I have explored the Lost Coast on enduros and this time on road bikes. It's like you've left California and gone back 50 years. Take Mattole Road off of the 101 north of Weott and follow it out to the coast. You'll go thru Honey Dew and Petrolia and end up at the beach. We sat and watched a Bald Eagle split a seal lunch with some vultures. The trip ended in Blue Lake at the Mad River Brewing Company with our youngest brother.
The whole Lost Coast area is a trip. Highway 1 turns in towards the 101 north of Fort Bragg and just where it heads north east there is Usal Road, a great dirt road that hugs the coast for almost 30 miles. No pavement. We did it in March 3 years ago (on an XR400 and DRZ) just after a big rain storm. Mud to the axles, rain, fog, elk and numerous excursions over the bars. What an adventure. You end up at Shelter Cove but can extend it all the way into Honey Dew along King's Peak Road (I haven't tried that one yet). Between Shelter Cove and Point Gorda there aren't any paved roads, hence the 'Lost Coast'.
 
Well, then. I'm quite sure that one person, at least, will get this one right off...

(by the way, the earlier freeway cut through the hill is I-70 in Utah.)

That could be anywhere near me but for those yellow lines. Where uses yellow in the middle of the road? Europe is white, except, I think Norway? maybe NZ?
I bet the suspensions takes a thump at that bend in the dip!

The U.S. uses yellow for center line markings on two-way roads, but I can't say that this is in the U.S.
 
I didn't mean that to be a tricky one. It's the road along the lost coast of California; from nearly the same spot as the other shot (by firefly)--I assumed that firefly would know it immediately.
 
so, here's one that you might be able to guess by the colors. Note; in the U.S. the center stripe is yellow and the side stripes are white. In this country, things are reversed.

I think naming the country is sufficient.
 
No; New Zealand is white sides and white center stripes with a yellow no-passing line. Keep trying.
