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.

Mum says I'm allowed out

Not bothered about meeting at long itch, can meet anywhere really, just didn't want that amount of mway miles.
I hadn't even thought of a route etc, just tested the water to see who was gonna venture out.
What time we all thinking of meeting?, I especially don't wanna travel that distance if were not meeting until 11 or 12.
I prefer to go out earlier and get back earlier.

I'd prefer to meet at around 9 ish, I find any later and the day seems to disappear too quickly. Does 9am seem okay?

Just need to decide which route to do really. Anybody else got any thoughts?
