That kinda road is either a blessing or hell on Earth depending on which direction the wind blow at.

Incidentally when I rode similar road like that, I was so bored I almost crashed because I wanted to see what happen if I swap my hand round and place them on the handlebar.

Biggest mistake I've nearly paid for.

Old Dunstan Road and Dansey's Pass Road, both in Otago, NZ. My cousin went there and said you can drive all day and only see one other person. The population density of the South Island is lower than Russia... very much looking forward to cycling these roads later this year/early next year.

Sounds like something only Indra would do... or I for that matter. When I was a kid I could ride for hours on end like that, now I would more than likely kill myself.

*Might just give it a go this afternoon :-/

This is General Wade's military road. Hit 41mph on the way down (whilst trying not to miss the turn off).

Wise decision, it'll literally catapult you back to your childhood.

Why is though that kids can do it... It doesn't make sense?
