Its just a matter of how well surfaced they are and how fast im going, i like them in oxfordshire cause i know the tarmac is going to be good on the otherside and grips not a problem but some of the ones round chesham are pure rubbish, painfull and horrible. A roads are easier to overtake on and are generally a lot faster for getting where you need to get to, and they are a lot better signposted which i like, not being one for taking a map or directions.

I don't mind B roads.... but start to draw a line to the poorly surfaced ones, or ones which are covered in mud/gravel esp on corners

I take B roads all the way from Newbury to Reading. Most of the bends have a nice gravel line down the centre of the lane. Corners are blind, the tarmac is loose at the edges, you never know if there is going to be a horse, cyclist, tractor round the next bend, The roads are unpredictable. Now that to me is what B roads are all about. Sharp blind bends, Twisties with attitude.

Keeps the adrenalin pumping and your eyes out on stalks.

I realised a few days ago why I need to give my eyes a good rub when I get home from work or when I arrive at work. It's because I don't blink for just about the entire journey. I don't have time.

Shame you can't make the GM rideout as the route has a good mixture of roads.

He will. He's the best damn doctor on the wing, or any other wing for that matter.

He's a wild card.
