What Jonny said is bang right. These roads might be pretty intimidating if your not used to them, very narrow, very bumpy, badly surfaced and in the case of the Buttertubs Pass in particular an 800 foot drop with a length of garden hose to hold you back from it. They are amazing, but they are real widow makers, and need to be treated with respect. I personally think the best way is have a convoy with maybe 2 or 3 groups headed by me, Jonny or Mark Airey to set a steady pace. I mean the Hardknott Pass, you'll be working very hard to average 45mph it's that twisty and narrow...
God damn awesome though
