Was just there tonight. I didn't go too fast, but it was shorter and less bouncy than I expected. I guess I'll have to see what the other half is like.

I'd stay away from King's on Sat and Sund mornings. Too many cyclists. Road is very bumpy.
Old La honda is smoother but just as many cyclists.
Ditto for Page Mill.

For anyone who like going on these roads, I actually recommend the crack of dawn. The last time I did that, it was so early that there is no one there, and yet there is enough light for you to see a few bends down. Most recommended!

Perhaps we need a crack of dawn group drive... say, group drive up to skyline vista point to watch the sunrise. Now who's interested?

I've found late afternoon 5:00-6:00 p.m. to be the idle time. Hardly any traffic (maybe 3 cars tops) and no bikers (due to that being sundown time). It leaves all the visibility and eliminates almost all traffic.
