I personally don't like narrow, twisty, blind corners much, too many cars cutting corners etc.
The wider A roads are my preference tbh and what I consider 'good' roads.

I wouldn't enjoy those country lanes on the Daytona either, mainly because they are too bumpy and are not comfortable on a road bike.
I was thinking more of the likes of the Market Harborough to Uppingham road, countryside B roads,

you can see on streetview, it's wide enough for two trucks to pass, and the surface is not as bumpy as a country lane, but it's not wide enough to fit on the SLOW lettering without going over the side line. And of course where you have a lesser population, you have less traffic. That's my favourite type of road in the summer and that's what I mean by tighter and twistier. I winter I prefer the wide A roads because the tighter ones tend to be covered in mud.
That said I've never been a fan of doing 90-100+ mph on the road like people do down the A423 from the Long Itch, maybe why I prefer smaller roads, you can get the thrill without the speed. |
