    It’s around 90 miles. Very serpentine and hilly. Will take you almost 2 hours. Very pretty drive, however.

    I like to ride Hwy 7 on my motorcycle.

    After watching some videos on it I’m debating staying on 44 to 49 to 40. Wouldn’t be so bad empty..

    That’s what I would do in a big truck. But I live here and can take the scenic routes anytime I want on my motorcycle.

    Company I used to work for threatened write ups if we took 7. Guess they had some issues with it.
