Near me, Macquarie Pass is a favorite with bikers (8km of tight turns but no great gradient) but this totally puts it in the shade. |
You can hit speeds of up to 70kmh (my brown stain limit) and beyond just rolling on the road bike. Half the fun is going down after all but yes, it is so dangerous if something goes wrong I do wonder afterwards why the hell I did it.
