I ride it all the time, its my favorite stretch of road by far (Blows the snake away IMHO). Myself and some friends will go up on the 4th and ride that area if the weather permits.
Hmm that looks interesting. We will be in Marion on June28th to see my step daughter graduate. I'll be in the car with the wife but I'll try and drive down that section just to see it and maybe come back later and ride it on the bike.
