    That road is 133

    I was not that impressed with 141. The scenery is good and its cool that their is no traffic but the pavement is starting to show its age and was pretty rough in spots. I am sure a few years ago that road was amazing.

    Really? I have no complaints. I hit it once or twice a year and haven't had any issue. Headed back next weekend.

    Don't get me wrong, its worth riding. The scenery alone is worth it. But the pavement looks like it was chip sealed five years ago and now the top coat is coming off (that black sheen look). Some sections were better then others which is to be expected given how long that road is.

    Personally, I would put roads like 550, 145, 149, 133 and 92 above it on the SW side of the state. I have had three trips there this year and none of them have disappointed.
