Just having a look through the "The Rough Stuff Fellowship" Photo Gallery 3 and found this crazy looking path in Switzerland.

Looks a bit like the "lightening Streak" in the Picos - not as difficult to ride as it looks ๐Ÿ™‚

ooks like a road!

Jedi - good to see you here, there's seems to be a right bunch of "forum riders" inhabiting this site since I was last on, a year or so a go!

Just makes me want to find even more new places to ride by myself ๐Ÿ™‚

Looks a bit hairy but it's a dirt road surely? Looks pretty wide.

I've ridden the Picos one. (Tresviso descent)
Very doable, but a seriously good descent anyway. Not one you'd ride fast though as any mistake is parachute time.
Actually, there's a few good days riding around there, all proper mountain stuff rather than bikeland pre-prepared stuff.

This one:

Oh, and in places it's a meter wide at most.

Treviso in the Picos is a must do.

The area is great for a week of cheap, good no nonsense biking.

See 'Operation Amazing Cheese' at [url] http://www.team-banana-racing.com [/url] for a full look-see at the ...cheese...amazing.

That Picos track is awesome. Not ridden it but walked it with the wife a few years back. Watching the vultures was amazing but the best bit was the bar at the top!

Been to the bottom of the Gemmi pass, it looks a bit wide to be interesting, stuff off the other side looks better.

Also from Iridepow's Blog, it does not look that bad.
