As others have noted, this is a great scenic road with lots of great curves, elevation changes and straights. Even more impressive in the September/October when the leaves are changing. The section through the White Mountains National Park was recently repaved, so it's very smooth too. Note that several sections are not maintained during the winter months, and in fact, the National Park section is gated off during winter. Also, the existing pavement condition south of the Park can be fairly poor in places.

I've ridden this road many times, including late Spring this year (2012). Rte 113 through Evans Notch is a ROUGH piece of road. A few years ago it was acceptable but this stretch of road through the notch is closed in the winter and takes a pounding from the Maine winter. There are SO many great roads in Maine that you don't have to accept this one. The scenery is nice on this route, but it needs pavement resurfacing.

Great during the fall for the colors. Often times when you stop at the scenic overlook at the top, you can see rock climbers across the valley on the mountain face, but only if you look closely! :)
