Took my '82 Honda Passport up Page Mill Road. 7hp of goodness. Can you believe a Prius, Civic and Audi A6 all let me pass during my struggle up the hill :rofl Funny because she's a gutless 3-speed with a top speed of 42mph on level ground and struggles in 2nd @ 9k rpm/25mph going up PMR. Weekend tourists seem to drive 20mph max and ride the brakes at the slightest curve in the road :nchantr so it makes for fun times.
Heres the closure at the PMR 35 intersection. I just rode around it.
On the way to the sink hole I saw this on the west side of the road. The first sign of any storm damage but the road is all cleaned up now.
Here's a shot looking directly at the slide area.
Cyclist and I were the only ones continuing southbound past Skyline Ridge (which was open for access).
Just past the entrance to Skyline Ridge we spoke to two workers prepping signage for a partial opening of the road.
Continuing our trek another 1/3 mile the road was blocked by signage and a worker sitting in his truck. He greeted us rubber-neckers and gave us some details. He said the road was still closed but mostly repaired already. Bicycle guy asked if he could take photos but was declined. Attendant informed of a dirt path detour for unmotorized vehicles just west and parallel to 35 that ran alongside the road and over some elevation. He said I could walk my scooter.
Bicyclist took the detour, I went back the way I came.
