Even if you re not, this DH is well worth the expenditure of a little rubber. Best ridden best from east to west, the first bit is boring, with long stretches of straight pavement, interspersed with 90 degree corners. After the road gets over its straightish tendencies, it gains an edge and whips you about, as you push through some great consecutive 30-50 kmh corners. Watch out for gravel as this is farming country. Tractors, cattle and horses are often seen and vehicles like to cut corners on both sides.
Traffic is light, but on weekends can be heavier.
A great alternative to Hwy 1.
