Have only been on this road once when Deano & Jimbo took me on it when I went down there for a day ride . Nice bit of road I thought , always hard when you are learning it as you ride it but would be keen to try the RSVR on it . Don't know where the 2 bridges are to know how far in K's you travel but sounds like some fast riding even from one side to the other .

If you have time to work a stop watch you are either going too slow or not paying attention to what you should be concentrating on.
Poos must have borrowed a Bugatti. No make that a helicopter.
Hang on, bridge to bridge in 5 minutes. Poos are talking about 5 minutes to do a U-turn in a car from the northbound single lane bridge to the southbound single lane bridge next to each other! That's 5 minutes to travel about 2 metres - about right for the speed some cars do over that hill.
Hey I'm taking the piss. We shouldn't be laying down challenges with race times on a pubic road. That's why I ride at a very sedate pace over that annoyingly twisty road. I can't wait until all the corners are gone then we can race on it.

If you've got Google Earth, these are the bridges:

Wow... I think I did one side of the hill in 10 minutes.... and I think that was the short side. I better keep left in case you crazy people are on the hill at the same time.
