DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!!!
Federal Offense or not the rangers run with their radar broadcasting at =
all times. I run with a radar detector and had no problem evading =
them. Speed limit is 45 though most of the BRP. I ran at 60 to 70 =
slowing to maybe 35 or so in some of the turns. In the summer the BRP =
is almost empty during the week. It's almost like a track day, =
especially in the mornings. Remember that in places in NC the traffic =
on the BRP is almost like a two lane state highway because that is the =
way the locals use it. You CAN make time on the BRP, if that is what =
you want to do. That being said, if you really want to get somewhere =
fast running the BRP ain't the way to go, and it's much more fun at =
slower speeds and looking at the scenery.
Just my 2 cents worth.
