Only Canadians say "washroom."
It's sort of goofy anyway. You're not in there for a rest or a wash and this is no bath. "Lav" is probably most appropriate or "toilet" but you don't go "into" the toilet.

The Dragon, well known as it is is referred as "a commute" here. Seriously, I used to take the Calaveras Canyon to work sometime for fun when traffic on the 680 was bad. That's 15 miles of twisties compared to the 11 of the Dragon.
The Great Drive is 136 miles.
Don't get me wrong, I want to do the Dragon and it looks wicked.. but a "Mini-Dragon"? C'mon.
