1.  Bedding brake pads.  This road is awesome.  Normally, I run it up rather than down, but since I needed to bed in some new brake pads, I figured down would be the best choice!

Middle section of 151:
151 Ba

Lower section of 151 (hit some gravel & debris at 2:29, it shows on the video with a jolt and almost running into the other lane):
151 C

Scrubbing tires.  This is a GREAT road.  I haven't been on it since it was gravel.  Right here in the county too.
