Your favourite road
I had a cracking ride into work this morning & got me thinking about my favourite road to ride.
I do enjoy the A525 from Nantwich to Whitchurch for the simple reason that I ride it twice every day of the week to come to work, but one of the nicest roads has been the A3 on the Isle of Man from St Johns to Ramsey. Its not just because its part of the TT course, but the scenery & roads are absolutely glorious. So, where is your favourite? & why

Re: Your favourite road
I couldn't honestly say. Some of the roads we did on the AR route...they're good with a group of 104, with a group of 4-5 they are incredible. There's the B4235 that I told Rich T and the South West lot to do to get from Chepstow to Abergavenny on route to the AR and that is an awesome bit of road, but you need to be "on it" to do that fast as it's pretty technical.
For a blast out from home, the Kemble Airfield run is pretty good, but for me, most of them are over the border in Wales. Oh...the route I take between home and the Vipers house is pretty good fun |

Re: Your favourite road
My fav road is the B1248 from Malton to Beverley. Its the old Yorkshire Wolds road with lots of sweeping bends, and a cracking surface. You don't have to know it to 'make progress'.
My favourite 'loop' is the B1257, just south of Guisborough, over the Nth Yorks Moors to Malton - not the best of surfaces and quite technical + SHEEP. From there picking up the A169 back up to Whitby and fish and chips. And then onto the A171 back up to Guisborough.

Theres loads, but I love this the most, because when I first did it, trying to catch a YPVS350LC on Suzy when I'd first got her, was horrid. I swore and cursed around it all the way to Ayesgarth. These days I love it, as its a little bit of fond memory, and because I'm ever so slightly better at riding, it can be a tad difficult in places, but has some lovely scenery along the way. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...cbp=12,45,,0,5
