The Manali to Leh/Ladakh Highway in India crossing some of the highest mountain passes in the world, including Rohtang Pass, Baralacha Pass, Lachulung Pass and Taglang Pass has always been the pilgrimage for all Motorcyclists, not just in India but throughout the World.

Not to mention the adventure experience while riding this road / or THESE roads for there isn’t a single ashphalt way always; mud, loose rocks, snow, black ice, icy stream crossing, broken down make-shift bridges, high-altitude sickness & desolate chilling mountains; it still has those STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES to fill your memory or your photo album whichever you prefer, with snaps of a lifetime.

Diehards like us take this road every year on an annual pilgrimage ending at K’Top (Khardungla) & each year come back with new experiences.

We in India call it GETTING LEY’D !!

This road is open only between start-June and mid-September when the snow is cleared from the road by the Border Roads Organisation. The Highway was designed, built, constructed and maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army.

Well, here in Florida where we can ride all roads 24/7/365, unique in the lower 48, we ride so much that it is difficult to choose just one. Ok, if that is the requirement, then I choose the Ozello Trail – 50 sharp curves in just 9 miles. Speeds vary from 15- 50 and cambers change on every one. The prize at the bottom of the box is that most of it curves through the Gulf flats and is surrounded by tropical flora and fauna. At the end is a great seafood restaurant that caters to bikers with outdoor seating overlooking the bay. I guess short and sweet would be a proper description. For anyone wanting come south to ride in paradise, the entry is on the west coast of Florida between the Crystal River and Homosassa Springs, west off US Hwy 19. It has an official designation of CR494, but most just call it “Ozello”.

You have to hit it in the winter or weekdays in “normal” riding season to be able to get thru without either swatting squids or going to sleep behind rolling roadblocks (HD clubs and Gol Wang clubs).

Oh … it’s US 129, not Route 128
