I am in North GA USA. The famed Tail of the dragon is a day ride away. A long day, but OK. back home that night. This is where I am going today. My local Dragon. Plenty of turns, lots of elevation changes. barely any side roads or anything... just park all around. Plus some great overlooks. Back and forth, back and forth. This is my training area. An hour away from my house, Hope this works. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/34....92e94f3caea!2m2!1d-83.836759!2d34.7259604!3e0 Rex This will be my whole ride. I will do probably 10 laps of the above in the middle though. I added highway at both ends to get back for my girl... Coming to cook me dinner later And, technically you know my address... so stop by? https://www.google.com/maps/dir/410...707b6f5953d!2m2!1d-84.1132764!2d34.127443!3e0 Lets see yours!
Snake pass isn’t too far from me, video doesn’t do it justice but gives an idea. My favourite road though is the mountain road in the Isle of Man, I only get to ride that every couple of years but it is superb, one way, no speed limit, incredible.
Yep I second the Peak District, The Dales, Lake District, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
Mid wales still my favourite in the UK (Rex we can get to The Picos in Spain in 24hours on the ferry so I class that as local to )
Best road in Gloucestershire is probably the A435 from Seven Springs to Stratton. Closely followed by the Stow TT (Toddington - Stow on the Wold - Broadway - Toddington).
When living in Sturgis sd, Spearfish canyon was a cracking ride, not a gixer balls out ride but more as a ride to realise what you are missing. It had offshoots into the badlands, Black hills, mount rushmore and much more. Beautiful countryside https://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/scenic-drives/spearfish-canyon-scenic-byway most testing road was the road to mugello though the hills and mountains from our hotel about an hour away from the track. Huge drops, many 180 degree bends and exceptional scenary. The hotel was in Viola and called Hotel Gri Orzali http://gliorzali.it/en/home-2/ Local roads where I live, not much to write home about.
What? I heard there is a secret 1/8 mile straight bit that every one in a while doesnt have a white van on it... Why are you complaining. Looks like this I think. Rex
But just a long the coast from Nerja and heading up to Sierra Nevada! It’d be good to think we’ll do that one day. But would have to be after breakfast at the Butibamba in Mijas first for the best bacon sarny on the Costa! Ian
