Default Highest paved roads

wrote

I've ridden some of the highest paved roads in La.


Sounds like the start of a new website for the highest road in each state of
the US. I once met somebody who had a long-time project of hiking to the top
of the highest elevation (generally not on a road) in each of the 50 states.

Need a new discussion group to argue about which is highest for some states.

Like debating that Euro website's choice of Umbrail for Switzerland . . .
the high point is only barely inside the national boundary, and the only
continuously paved road to it is from Italy. (though in dry weather it
should be ridable on a road bike from Switzerland). Seems like it would be
appropriate in such cases to list the second highest which is obviously
fully paved and substantially inside the country.

Anyway there's other websites with much more detailed and helpful info about
Euro climbs than that one.

Ken
