Title: Epic Drives of the World
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on October 10, 2017, 08:38:16 PM

New book at the county library (Aug 2017 printing) from LonelyPlanet.com publishers.
325 pg. color, large format book to "Explore the planet's most thrilling road trips."

Nice pics and interesting blurbs on each trip from around the globe.
Might find the mention of a piece of road near you.

Epic drives?  That implies being in a cage.  I'd much prefer Epic Rides (http://advrider.com/styles/advrider_smilies/ricky.gif)

Nearly did the Cabot Trail but riding buddy moved off from Texas to Seattle. He wants me to ride up to him and both ride back across to NS. Sounds good but prob won't happen.

Very interesting video, but the subjects changed so fast. We I could see it with longer subject exposure. I guess the drone couldn't fly to far from the operator. The clarity was amazing. yelp, that would be some ride, for sure.

I agree.  They did change scenes way too fast.  It still looks like an epic ride.
