I'll start
The A264 between Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead in Kent.
9 miles of tight, twisty, undulating road, through forests and past some great views. Ridable even in winter, with puddles still formed of ice, not ridden it yet in the summer.
I'm pretty sure there's loads more great roads in kent, just need to find them  ____________________ 00 Honda VFR800 | 09 Aprilia Tuono Factory

GI-682 in Spain between Tossa de Mar and Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
Brief snippet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2MhNxUEYtQ
Am semi-seriously parking myself at one end of it and doing that road two to four times a day for a week, at some point in the future.
It's a fabulous road, curvy (allegedly 365 corners) and pretty, yet with few decreasing radius corners. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Best biking road evah!
Not much locally in flat, boring Oxfordshire, but a little further afield the A338 from Wantage to about Burbage, A342 from Upavon to the 338, B4437 from just north of Burford to Charlbury (summer, dry weather only), and some of the A44 from Chipping Norton to Moreton-in-Marsh; all pretty good stretches. Summer usually means Wales for me though. Oh, and Fish Hill on the A44 at Broadway, just south of Evesham for a bit of a challenge, assuming you don't get stuck behind some doddering old git or HGV on the way down (one lane); better on the way up (2 lanes).
Wales, Scotland and Yorkshire all have roads that beat any of these by a long way, but I'll leave those to the locals to mention  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

The A1084 between Caistor and Brigg in Lincs. Nice windy road with a couple of hills thrown in for good measure. Nice pub half way along at Grasby to simmer in the sunshine too.  |

Chickenstrip has pretty much nailed all my favoured bits of road really. Parts of the A44 Evesham-Oxford, And the road out from Worcester to Hereford, along with the A422 from Worcester to Stratford are some of mine. Lots of north Wales sections of road are nice, and bits of Warwickshire and Leicestershire too, often along various sections of the Fosse way.
The road Worcester through Tewksbury and to Cheltenham is ok too from what I remember, and lots of the Cotswolds around Stow etc are nice too.
It's pretty sad fore me to try and re-collect these roads, as I've ridden none of them for at least 5years while I've mostly been away from decent bikes.
p.s In the car I used to like the drive through Warwick, Leamington, southam, Daventry, Towcester etc on the way to the Pod. I would think it'd be fair on a bike too. |
