    There is about 20km of gravel ( i think that far) which is usually in pretty good order, the rest of the ride is well worth the little bit of gravel. At the moment i belive the road is closed due to slips from the rain at the weekend; check with the aa to find when reopened.

    Cool

    I did it a couple of years ago on my 2000 Aprilia RSVR and it was more like 50k's and mid summer (read dry,and we all know what dry gravels like,totally shitty on a sports bike) but hey it was well worth it for the seal either side of the gravel.
    As mad as a spider, and twice as hairy !

    There is actually about 35kms of gravel. Split by the Annie (hill, right in the middle) itself, which is sealed. According to last night's paper, the road has been re-opened.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
