Default Straightened out a few curves today...(pics)
Took a ride today out to a nice little stretch of Mountain road that I haven't been on since I almost killed myself in a Triumph Spitfire there 34 years ago (the night my first son was born)
Tepusquet (pronounced tip-o-skay) Road is a 6 mile stretch of nothing but banked,sharp curves,and I gotta tell ya,it was FUN:


and they're not kidding...






the view from the top...




back to reality...


gratuitous picture of my Vette...

Saw one other person the whole ride - a hardcore bicyclist pedaling UP hill (about 3 miles worth)

Love the pictures!

Nassau Blue has to be the best color for a C5.

My kind of road, but I'd probably scare the dog.
