 Posted: 22:41 - 26 Mar 2012 Post subject: Favorite roads/bends |
 |
|
ok i think i may have cracked it 2 years of bcf'ing and this may be the only meaningful post ive made, we'll see.
so with the help of google maps and street view and it being the start of a new season i thought i would share not a complete list but a few of my favorite roads and bends and invite you to do the same, there must be so many little hidden gems out there people would love to explore.
this one has to do the starting bid the whole road is ace but htis little beauty in the middle rises and drops about 30 meters quite quickly and with the overhanging trees makes it a peach.
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=52.290423,-0.7481&spn=0.00042,0.219383&t=h&z=12&layer=c&cbll=52.290415,-0.74784&panoid=WlHuEtovCKKJ2_pPnjusFQ&cbp=12,106.2,,0,17.18
this fav of mine starts at this 90 degree bend and wineds and weaves its way to the village of little harrowden with some brilliant s bends to link up i do advise you scroll down the road to see all of its glory.
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=52.305151,-0.783217&spn=0.00042,0.219383&t=h&z=12&layer=c&cbll=52.305151,-0.783217&panoid=NhfJ1Tcgx-JcP1Dk0pJlZQ&cbp=12,88.31,,0,7.04
im particuly fond of this one it nearly killed me at about 90
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=52.290003,-0.784149&spn=0.00042,0.219383&t=h&z=12&layer=c&cbll=52.290356,-0.784794&panoid=-4Z-x4xkY1aNfI0HJ4akVQ&cbp=12,118.73,,0,-1.13
this is anothe awsome road but this bend followed by the next are particuly good especially if you get this one good the adrenalines going for the next. . . which is needed as the nest one drops away from you.

Can't really link it to a map, but there are a couple of good roads down here...
One I discovered the other day - The road from Pagglesham to Mersea Island in Essex. Its not THAT twisty and bendy, but the different gradients that the corners are on really make for some interesting riding; for example, there is a rather steep incline, that goes down into a sharp corner then into another hill. Pretty good fun.
Another good road is the country lanes From Ashingdon, through Hullbridge, into Wickford... pretty good road. Its meant to be one of the most dangerous in britain, just because it has very few road markings, its completely un-lit and the corners are stupidly sharp. I've found that you really have to be on the ball to get a good line through some of the corners.
I will have to find a map with them on a little later  ____________________ CBT Passed - 22 / 10 / 11 >> Theory Passed - 16 / 02 / 2012 >> Mod 1 Passed - 07 / 03 / 2012 >> Mod 2 Passed - 18 / 05 / 2012. |

Bit of a ride from Bath, may check it out one day. Hopefully this summer I'll get a ride down the A39 Bridgwater to Minehead, we have a holiday home near Watchet so that'll be sweet  ____________________

Quite like this route I use when testing my bikes after having worked on them.
Mixture of road surfaces. Some corners with negative camber. A few straights for checking wheel and head bearings.
Lots of half decent roads where I live. Around Lake Vyrnwy in Wales first sprung to mind when I thought about good roads. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

this has to be one of my favorite pieces of road and i am sure those who know Yorkshire agree,
basically the 169 to whitby from pickering with everything from long sweeping corners to a 180 degree off camber off a cliff section and on a good day beautiful scenery ____________________ "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 100 MPH THATS IMPOSSIBLE Its chinese OFFICER."
