The best road in the world?
 

I was watching Top Gear the other night, and they set out on a quest to find the best road in the world - meaning most fun and technical... at least for cars. They decided on this one... the Stelvio Pass in Italy. 60 hairpin turns, in about 20 miles, covering an altitude change of 1870 feet down the Italian Alps...

Imagine this on a bike :)

This is an excellent chicken strip removal road. You could do some serious tire wear on that road!

Top gear is an awesome show, and that road looks crazy

look like this road in venezuela that leads up to the Colonia Tovar.

Could you imagine living in that house? Waking up every morning and having that view? Awesome. :)

Here is a flat, 2d map of Stelvio Pass

If I were to die on that road on a bike- I would die a happy man. :) Though - preferably not in a wreck.
