At a Glance
Roll that throttle. Push on those bars.
Drop those knees. Sure, the punishing pavement and agonizing,
drawn-out speed zones through the townlets south of La Porte
hurt. But you gotta ride through the pain to get in the zone
the smooth-toned Pavement, buff Engineering and tight, muscular
twisties that wind north of La Porte into the remote alpine
Scenery of the unspoiled Onion Valley. Feel that tire burn off
as you shift your weight through those low-pylon corners. All
right, now take a breath. Don’t strain yourself on the narrow
hairpin turns that crunch down the steep, forested cliff to the
Feather River’s wild Middle Fork. Save something for the last
winding blast through the woods between the gentle curves of the
Willow Creek valley and the high-speed, cool-down sweepers
through the hayfields at the end. That’s it! Way to go! Looking
great! One more time!
