Your TT

Do you have a favourite circuit of roads you ride regularly? Why not post it here? I'll do mine on a google map or something and post it later.

yeah- a page with google maps of circuits would be ace! I'm on the case

having trouble with this google maps?

Not exactly a circuit, but a stretch I've been trying to get right for a while now and still can't. It's a really wierd and deeply scary set of corners, Fish Hill, the A44 east of Evesham - http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v...1000&encType=1

The problem is, if you get it wrong, it'll go horribly wrong very quickly and you end up squished.

great tour of the pennines starting from south Manchester, although of course it can be picked up anywhere.
75 miles + 37 mile detour if you fancy it

took me bloody ages to get fuel stops/cameras and distances so if anyone does it please let me know what you think!

That looks like a really good route...some of the roads look quite twisty and technical...nice

Why not post it here?

Because then everyone will use it and before long the weekend warriors will find out about it, ride a bit too fast along it, crash stupidly and then the police will be all over it, fit speed cameras, etc. and the road be ruined for everyone (well, me).

I have two favourites (in different bits of the country) and have only ever seen a total of about 6 other bikes on them. I'd like to keep it that way. Selfish, I know, but there we go.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, both sections are each a shade under 2 miles long. Hence it involves lots of u-turning then going back along it several times. If I do it a handful of times a year, it's not too bad. If the locals have hundreds of bikes doing it every sunday, they'll soon complain to the police about the "nuisance".

Exactly...

So other can use and enjoy it rather than abuse it like you and your mates would
