The roads posted above are now closed due to snow and ice - not safe!
Around the capitol Oslo it's still rideable - I went for a 160 miles ride today - around 45 F [moto]

I'll start with NC197. It's not for the faint of heart, you'll need to be comfortable with gravel. The pic is of a section that is a sequence of 6 180ยบ turns. A mile later the road goes grave for five miles
Next we have NC215. Awesome stretch of road, but only when it doesn't look like this:
Here is is without snow:
Now, we've got US276 near the Blue Ridge Parkway:
North of the BRP:
South of the BRP:
Georgia 28 near Warwoman Rd:
NC209, area known as "Betsy's Gap"
For reference, the bike is in the same spot for the next two pics, still on NC209:
NC28 near Deal's Gap:
US129 just south of Deal's Gap:
Hope you enjoyed!

If you make it to Europe you have got to do these runs...
I wish I could have provided this from a motorcycle perspective:
Grimsel Pass - Swiss Alps
But then again I can on this one:
Stilfser Joch with K 1200 GT
BTW, Swiss and Italian Alps....enjoy

Is that the Swiss end of Stelvio? Where is the heart smiley when you need it?

You don't live in the Wilmington area do you? This area kinda blows for the bike.
My favorite is 666 in North PA-pure evil. I miss it greatly

I live just a few miles below the WarWoman pic on SC 28. Every time the_Journeyman post pics it reminds me of how lucky I am to live in a temperate rain forest, a "Garden of Eden" with a race track running through it.
Mts. around here get like 2000 mm of rain a year and that snow pic on 215 is pretty common in the dead of winter.
