The road down to St Mawes from the A390 is really good, as is the road from Launceston to Bude, Bude to Bodmin, Bude to Bideford, Bideford to Great Torrington, Great Torrington to Tavistock on the A386. Liskeard to Tavistock, Liskeard to Launceston, St Austel to Truro, Torpoint to Looe, Looe to East Taphouse via B3359, Dobwalls to Truro on the A390.

Hope this helps!

In fact, most of those roads would make up one of our ride outs. A fair few miles to do in a day, but with few if any police, and a Devon and Cornwall police policy to not chase bikes, it's more than doable!

Regards

Yep, was chatting to our beat manager about that as we have lots of yoof (and not so yoof) who think the playing field is the ideal test site for their moto-x race bikes. They can't chase them, and as they aren't registered, they can't trace them to an address.

Back on topic - the coast road from St Agnes area round to Land's End is good fun, and has plenty of tea and ice-cream stops too
