Sure. Lots of folks here have. It's a blast and I would recommend everyone try get there at least once.

The weekends are REALLY crowded, so I would suggest at least part of your trip be a week day. If you can only get there on the weekend, then try to go early in the morning before it gets too crowded, otherwise you won't be able to set your own pace and have to work to get around slower riders.

Here are some links to my last trip there:

No problem. I know others have been as well. Maybe they'll chime in with their experiences.

I was up there back in May, and absolutely LOVED it!!! I sooooo didn't want to come back home to SoFla. Although it was cold and a little rainy while I was up there, I had an absolute blast. Can't wait to go back... hopefully this next spring I'll be back there but won't be able to stay as long this year [:@]


Here's the rest of the pics from that trip, which included alot more than just the GAP (it was a 5,126.3 mile roadtrip!)

Hey I haven't been on the Dragon yet but hope to very soon. I have been up on the Cherohola Skyway though. I don't live very far at all from there. Send me a message when you get ready to go.

I don't remember the exact site, but it was one of the race track galleries I was looking in. I will try to find it out which one and let you know.
