Come on, guys, lighten up! Based on the way the road curves, and the limited visibility in a number of areas, one would have to be a highly skilled race car driver in top condition to average more than 100 mph over that course. Or maybe what I heard on my last visit was not a low flying helicopter but a low flying Saab wagon? Do you think maybe you're being conned? This is a blog, after all, and I'm sure that just like Wikipedia, if it's written here it must be true, yes?
That aside, I'm glad for the improvements on Saddle Road, as it is by far the best route to the dark side in daylight. Let's hope the final stages of road improvement will take out the last of the rough road. Who knows, maybe the rental car companies will even let tourists go up the mountain without fear of dire penalties.
