Not a bad list but IMO M-25 and US-23 are a better drive than M-37 and US-2
And just remember that the speed limit is 55 all the way up the Peninsula (other than the very bottom that is 45) and yes that includes the curves. If there are 5 or 6 cars behind you and you can’t manage to drive the speed limit – just pull over and let them by!
Yep, I’d like to see you try some of those curves on 119 @ 55 MPH
I was talking M-37
To me M-37 is boring, there are a few senic views up there but M-25 is much better. US 23 also. Yep if you can’t drive the speed limit on 37 need to go have your license reviewed
