Favourite Local Roads
 
Just thought I'd ask what your favourite roads were around your area when you want to go for a short ride?? I havent found too many great runs being new to the area but a couple of my favs now are:

Virginia Water - Chertsey - Chobham around Foxhills/Stonehill area.

And for twisties it would have to be the roads past Deepcut bridge - B3012 and then around to Mytchett - although its not a long run its lotsa fun.

Used to ride that road every day to work. It is good fun, but I saw at least one accident a week on it. Once it was shut because a glider had crashed on it.

Oh yes! :twisted:

It's a shame you're not allowed to go more than 60 on those roads. :roll:

If you are up around Basingstoke, then have a trip to Kingsclere, down to Overton, west to Whitchurch and back up to Kingsclere - some cracking roads there.

A32 is always good for a laugh as well.

Who says all the best roads are up north :wink:

I saw that over the weekend - lots of loose gravel in the centre strip is a shame. Amazing what a few months make.
