Pig Tail Turns on Needles Highway




Here my riding friend Sandy comes under the bridge that is part of a pigs tail turn, one of three, that we had coming down from the 6,000 foot mountain top. To put these heights into perspective, our home sis at 700 feet and when we are in Cincinnati near the river we are about 400 feet above sea level. We climbed from 3,000 feet to the 6,000 on this mountain then dropped for a half hour, some 2,700 feet! These pig tail turns were necessary to make the road fit the terrain!
