Post Le Mans Depression? - Drive the B6255
Discussion
After one solid week of Le Mans withdrawal and serious depression I decided to spend this glorious day in the Sag. OMG, I'd forgotten just how good this road is. Hadn't done it since retiring my motorcycle 2 years ago. What a blast!!! I'd completely forgotten just how challenging this piece of road is at speed. Got to Hawes with my hands wringing wet and a heart rate equal to an hour on the crosstrainer. It has everything. Fast straights, sweeping curves, tight bends, blind humps, gravity force stoops. Burrilllianttt!!!! Had to do it back & forth, 4 times in total, to the point where my driving skill was writing cheques my car didn't wanna cash! Don't you just love living in God's Country?
It is a grat road isn't it? I can't see why Buttertubs is better. Good visability and road surface on the Ribblehead road means flowing corners that "tubs" can't equal IMO.
Infact I think I'll have a trip over tomorrow.
Last time I rode the 6255 on the way out of Hawes towards Layburn a Hercules came low down the valley. It was a proper Top Gun moment

Does anyone have a decent route for this area? 
Went up a couple of months back but didnt see too much due to my osf wheel trying to part company with the car.
Can remember seeing 1 very commited biker up there. Thank god me and my mate had stopped for a breather, he was using as much of the road as we had being.
