Virtual Tour of Hurricane Mountain Road

VIRTUAL RIDE UP HURRICANE MOUNTAIN ROAD

You too can YouTube up Hurricane Mountain Road. In anticipation of the Memorial Day Ride, and as a virtual training device, go to YouTube and search for “Hurricane Mountain Road”. The search results show some decent footage of ascents and descents of the Hell/Hill of the North. Most or all seem to be on motor bikes. Leisurely ascend on these virtual tours, with no fear of being dropped, or worst yet, walking the two wheeler up the side of Hurricane, there is no footage of a walking tour up Hurricane. That must be experienced inside the real world, not the virtual world.

As today's lantern rouge I have to say the video doesn't do that climb justice. I had no delusions that I was going to scamper to the top, but...wow.
