Re: Pike's Peak
Very cool vid. Thanks for sharing. I've done the Pikes Peak drive twice. At more normal speeds. I see there have been some nice improvements. The first time I did it there were no guard rails and no pavement. Any of you guys that get to that area it is worth the time to take the drive. At normal speeds it will take between 45 minutes to an hour. The views are spectacular. Wear a jacket. It's cold up there. It's over 14,000 feet of elevation.

No, I didn't know that. I was about to edit the post and try it out but somebody beat me to it! Well, it's good to know anyway. I'll use that feature in the future!
