Its the GAP!
Where I get my summer clothes!

It's a fun experience, however I think it's overpopulated now and more of a publicity stunt now.

 

Always alot beter to go in the off season. And during the week because even in the off season any given weekend there will be quite a crowd. Check out killboy.com and just look at the pictures from any given weekend and you will be very surprised at the number of bikes. IF anyone is riding out this way hit me up and I will let you know some more must ride roads in the area. The dragon is far from my favorite route in the area. And I live real close. Its just that there are roads much less traveled and just as fun. Below is me Two summers ago. There are two or three businesses that have photographers set up at various curves on the dragon. Kind of cool to see yourself on the internet the next week when they post the pictures. And here are two links to what I have found as the fastest passes i have ever seen on the dragon. The guy on that crf has a death wish., ENJOY!

Hah Indeed as Indiana Hurricane illustrated - good times in good company we had
at the Dragon - Ride within your means and experience and you'll have a great time.

Lots of other good roads around there also - Cherohala Skyway is great fun early early
in the AM but to be respected too - make a few passes before winding it up
