Depends on traffic. If the A3 is calm after I get past the Hook underpass (southbound), it's nice to open up on that big bend. Normally it's just a mess of everyone in lane 2 and 3 tailgating each other though.

Also, when the kids are off and the traffic is really light, coming off Painshill towards Weybridge- nice sharp bend there right off the roundabout- can get up to 70 coming out of that on a quiet, dry day!

Riding home- I guess the dual carriageway between Hersham and Esher can be fun, or opening up off the lights at Hinchley Wood- that can be a blast if you get away from the front. Nice long left hand sweeper to get leaning over on. Far better if I take a long ride home in summer though- towards Leatherhead/Boxhill.
