Paul....careful with those worn tyres, wet roads...and Diesel spills..

That looks like a fairly new road...?
Not sure how old/new the blacktop is on the road Paul, but in good weather the run to the top has become a fav amongst all the riders who have done it at least once..........bottom to top is 16 km and to my knowledge, claims of a 6 min run have been circulated........not by me though, that would be illegal to speed on any hwy here in B.C.
This is the run up the hill.........
This is how some people deal with the run down.........
