Thumbs down Thanks to Mens Journal

That magazine just relesed an article, here's a quote lifted from sfgate.com

in the latest issue of Men's Journal that advertises 'driving Nirvana" on the two-lane roads that wind through forested hills east of Oakland -- just right, the story says, for bombing along in a Porsche at 75 mph.

To cyclists who ply Pinehurst and Redwood roads, through the hamlet of Canyon and along the ridge behind Redwood Regional Park, the suggestion is nothing short of reckless.
watchout for the cops! I recommend that you stay away from that area for a while.

Of course, our problems are nothing compared to the cyclist that have to share the roads with those Porches bombing down the road @ 75...

No crap! Why would they let out our little secret? These roads actually suck VERY much, don't even bother checking them out

If you're as pissed about this as I am, send hate mail about the author and this article (Jason Harper/California Cruisin'/June '03) to:

lol!

that is hilarious. Crashes are hard to come by on that road, unless the conditions are wack, the driving skills are wack, or an animal pops out on to the road.

nice road though. plenty of others as well
