Default ****** I found you a road

******, I know how you like the switch backs at Green River Cove. Well I found a rival. I am on a weekend road trip. I am in Kentucky. Went through Cumberland Gap National Park. The ride up to the Summit rises about 1200 ft and is a constant series of switch backs. I thought about you and Green River Cove when I was riding it. I plan on cutting across southern Kentucky down 421 and ride the Snake on the way home tommorrow. I have not ridden it in many years.

Green River Cove = [:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(]

I am green when I get off that horrendous excuse for a road.

I can't wait for ****** to chime in on that comment.

Green River Cove is pretty bad. The road at Cumberland Gap at least had good pavement.

The Snake in near Shady Valley south of Bristol on 421. Thereare lot of road that connect in that area. I think they claim about 495 curves in a 12 mile radius. We are only doing 421, due to time. Below is a link to Utube that shows some of the riding on 421.
