I take my bike down to the dragon every year... it is definetely not for the faint of heart. You really have to ride within your limits, and maintain your concentration.... there's 318 ways she'll get you if you don't.a buddy of mine bought a bike down south somewhere last summer, flew down to get it and was riding back and hit the Dragon on the way... He wound up in the spinach wearing his new bike like a hat.
