Best Road You're Ever Ridden?
What's the best/your favorite road to ride? Not for any perticular reason, it's just fun to share the experiance.
Personally, I love the Highwood Pass, here in Alberta. It's the highest road in North America and somewhere around 8000 feet. In a valley, surrounded by the rockey mountains. Takes about 2-3 hours to go through, had plenty of roadside stop areas, and it's quite windey. By far, my favorite road. For pics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highwood_Pass |

Kinlochleven road in Scotland, or a little wiggly one locally which is awesome fun. I'm sure there are better roads out there in the world but it's the fun you have on them that counts.

Re: Best Road You're Ever Ridden?
My favourite road is the A483 from Newtown to crossgates in mid Wales, but I actually like other roads as well but this one has it all.
I like parts of the a44 from crossgates as it's quite fast flowing but traffic and DWL's can spoil it at times. There are loads of roads I like snippets of, certain sections but the one above has the most. |

What he said! Kinlochleven;
 Or the A93 south starting at Braemaer!  Or the A939 Lecht road! Bar the few near death experiences!

Re: Best Road You're Ever Ridden?
Locally, what Sally and Chris said.
Recent giggles in Europe: - ride up to La Bonette in France, - Marbella to Ronda, - Ronda to Gibraltar, - most N roads in Spain, especially the N260 - the whole length. Last edited by dyzio; 16-06-11 at 02:58 PM. |

Somewhere in deepest darkest France.
Although, I did slobber profusely on the Scottish roads. However can't beat riding our own roads in Yorkshire, specially those around Hawes.
