I have yet to ever ride hocking, i haz ben there once to stay w my gf in the cabins - but i agree it is nice and curvy (take that however u want lol) My main issue riding that far is my limitations when it comes to my sense of direction. I dont have a way to hook up my GPS or phone to my bike so i cant see where I'm going. SO I have to put my phone in my coat and I have a pair of Bose In Ear's w noise cancelling - which works great, but sometimes google maps on my phone is half retarded. How do you guys go about attaching a GPS or your phone to your bike? I know it kinda depends on your bike, but I have yet to fig it out.
