There's Skyline Drive in VA that goes north-south through the Appalachians. There's Skyline Blvd in the hills east of Oakland. There's also a Skyline Blvd on the other side of the Bay running the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains. And then there's the Skyline Blvd that I rode today in the Portland area running the crest of the hills just west of town.
They are all beautifully challenging roads with few stops, many ups & downs, a few Mom & Pop outposts spreading the local yore and lots of local cyclists that'll whip your sorry ass in shape & send you home wishing for more.
I can't wait to come on down to PDX for another chance this summer - 4 hours wasn't enough.
