Surely it is because it is the quickest, but filthiest way out of Preston, although I would like to see it all knocked down and replaced with a NSL multi lane dual carriageway from the tickled trout to the prison. Still you need somewhere for the ghetto shops.

Delph and Denshaw route from Halifax over to Hudds, are part of my bimbling runs in summer, when the bikes are a bit poorly and need a bit of running. Its a great little route, short and sweet, but enough to lift spirits.

hi dizzy, unfortunately two bikers lost there lives on it a week ago in a head on with each other, a real shame. so this time next year the speed limit will be lowered to 40 i reckon, they've already reduced the first section from delph to 30 from forty.

Dunno which one to choose really. The road I rode along yesterday evening from the Conwy Falls cafe, through Penmachno, Cwm Machno, pick up the Ffestiniog/Ysbyty Idwal road then along the Ffestiniog/Bala road till it joins the 4212. The 4212 is nice particularly that lovely bend around the spur of Llyn Celyn and there are some great views along there heading in the Trawsfynydd direction but it's a tad overrated and a bit obvious really.

There's a series of roads going through the Massif Centrale from St Martin des Olmes near Ambert and down to Nīmes which I've now ridden twice. It goes from the maritime climate of the northern Massif to the Mediterranean climate of the south and takes in about 80 - 100 miles of the most fantastic hairpins with a mix of ..er..interesting road surfaces! One minute you'll be riding in what appears to be the most remote roads and then suddenly a market town appears out of the mountains and forest. Just the most fantastic route!
