Good roads?
 
Ok don't flame me yet.....but coming down from the NW and been used to roads like the Peak district, Cat & Fiddle etc etc

WHERE are the good roads down here? I keep having to ride like a **** to ensure my tyres are not squared off :)

There's one called the A406 that's quite good fun.

Serious right (because that's my middle name) one of the big bike magazines did a little book of good roads and I thought there's going to be none within 100 miles of here. Blow me if the North Circular wasn't in it! I might have it somewhere.

Prepare to be flamed - you're asking for it.

I'm deeply sick of hearing how good the roads in the North are, I've ridden all over the country - and I really mean all over it, not just 'round and 'round on a few of the far too well trodden bits we keep hearing about - and there's good riding roads all over the country. In fact the very best bits aren't in the north of England.

Which bit/side of London are you based in? Herts, Bucks, Berks and Oxon is familiar to me and we have lots of fun bits to hoon about on if that's what you're after. Being off the beaten track they're not all full of Power Rangers and speed traps which makes them even better.

And breaaaaathhhh :) I said from the roads I KNOW....never said the roads up north in general are better.

So where are the very best bits then? Come on share the knowledge :smt031

From Epping via Ongar to Saffron Walden then on to Cambridge. I'll PM you a Google maps route later.
