My favorite corner

[carelesschucca]

ARGH!!! This is so difficult and its not fair. So many great corners for so many different reasons. Picking one is causing me real issues...

I only did Mallory once, but thought I had Gerrards nailed on my last session out on my FZR400 until one of the No limits girls passed me on the outside like I'd stopped. I felt about 2 inches tall lol.

This entire section of road...

Cloesly followed by a road in north wales that I can't remember... I just remember following bluepete, or being followed by bluepete... it was super twisty and there was water on the left at about roads level. A bit of a vague description I know.

Pretty much all of this whole area

Or a local one to me, not technical at all but if you can get on it without a car in front you can carry some good speed into it.

Or the A483 as G mentioned, very good road.

Mine is quite simple somehow, there are a lot of corners I like but my favourite seems to be one that is accessible to me, that I can ride whenever I like. My route to work can be made to include this one.

Obviously not when it has traffic on it like this but that isn't very often in all honesty, for a main road is doesn't get that much and is a nice high speed corner with a nice elevation change and mostly open view.

Oops, sorry about the res, my screen is a tad high def

Not really a fair comparison, but this is the valley between the Furkapass and Grimselpass in Switzerland which I rode this summer on the way back from holiday in Italy. The Alps really are stunning, and yes the road is just a fabulous as it looks.
Note some of the hairpins, like the one in the foreground, are built on stilts, just to add to the experience!
