    Deer Creek Canyon Update

    Last night, after giving my Exige a bath, I drove out Titan Road and up and around Deer Creek Canyon.

    The paving project is nearly complete. Maybe only a few days to go--maybe a little longer with weather issues. The road is freshly paved all the way to the Deer Creek Road turn off. That's the one that turns left off of Deer Creek Canyon and goes up the hill to the twisties with the big drop-off on the left-hand side.

    The only paving that looks to be finished is the uphill side of Deer Creek ROAD. They are paving from Deer Creek Canyon to the start of the three speed bumps. The downhill side, from the speed bumps is done.

    Grip, is excellent! The road is very clean. We'll see what the weather and sand trucks do to it in the next few days...

    Personally, I don't think there is anyone, on a bike, that can outcorner me on that top section of DCR. Of course, I'm on four wheels. Man, you gotta have guts up there. Doing an imitation of Superman for 10 seconds, over the edge, is not out of the question.

    Be advised, there is quite a bit of wash-out toward the top of the twisties.

    Hey Pilot-

    Just wondering?

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Yeah we hit that stretch on the way back on Sunday, our half was freshly paved and it was absolutely perfect, beautiful stretch of road. And with all those super tight turns, I imagine you'd be quite a bit faster in the Lotus than us on our bikes.

    Hitting your head against a wall won't make you any faster. I tried that once=no good.
