Route highlights & field notes
Start before first light to catch mist in the valleys. Pace is conversational; stops are for coffee, not content.
Route highlights
Ridge segments with long sight lines, a ferry of secondary roads that reward weight transfer, and a final descent into a town square for dinner.
Porsche suitability
Narrow cars shine; bring lights you trust and tires with wet confidence. Respect residents—this is a route, not a stage.
