[MightySprocket]

i've copied this from another forum but believe we can do it better

 

I have noticed since the escorts been on the road that I am surrounded by some fantastic blacktop that should be shared with all OSF'ers

 

ill start the ball rolling, if anyone would like to add there's or impart knowledge/experience on any of feel free...

 

and.... for the anyone in the sarf the M25 doesn't count

A51 - Stapeley to Stone

 

 

20 miles

A fast, sweeping, rollercoaster on very smooth tarmac, no speed cameras but watch out for the oldies travelling to the garden centre.

i live in east yorkshire on the boarder with north yorkshire and theres plenty of nice country roads out and about here which i love driving on in my osf

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

ah i see now that map wasnt there the first time i replyed how do you do that

A529 - Nantwich to Market Drayton

 

 

13.6 miles

Same as the last, lots of bikes use this road, can be a bit slippy

[MightySprocket]

A537 - Macclesfield to Buxton - Cat & Fiddle

 

 

10 miles

Probably the most famous/infamous road in england, again a bikers road, caution needed, this is listed as the most dangerous road in the UK and a challenge if driven fast... great corners but blind crests a plenty, be warned!

A534 - Nantwich to Wrexham

 

 

21.9 miles

Second most dangerous road in UK very, very fast, some very tight corners at the end of fast sections, there is a speed camera but the farmers keep pulling it down also leads to demon tweeks

[MightySprocket]

A539 - Wrexham to Bala

 

 

35.6 miles

The second part of three to the above on your way to Barmouth for an ice cream. Very quick bikers road, police presence on bank holidays, great entrance to wales

[MightySprocket]

A5/A494/A496 - Bala to Barmouth

 

 

27.7 miles

The final leg... plenty of 'ARAF' signs, they are there for a reason, they love hairpins here... some big drops too! Nice seaside town... they also have dodgems!

[MightySprocket]

A542 - Horseshoe Pass

 

 

4.2 miles

the shorest one but great little trip upto the famous 'Ponderosa' bikes cafe, very technical with massive drops.. not one if you have vertigo can be done after between wrexham and bala

[MightySprocket]

B5470 - Macclesfield to Whaley Bridge

 

 

16.6 miles

Lesser known than the 'Cat & Fiddle' but just as good if not better, this really is like being on the big dipper!

[MightySprocket]

ah i see now that map wasnt there the first time i replyed how do you do that

 

route planners dave i like the moors roads around Kieghley

[MightySprocket]

if anyones interested in an OSF road trip next year, i could be a tour guide

[antz]

my drive to work everyday.

 

only thing you gotta watch out for is the hump back bridge as its lethal to hit at anything above 4mph

[Rick]

i got my favourite lane not gonna go and put a map up though.

 

i go down it every day so i know every bend, raced a porsch in the escort and he struggled to keep up, mind you he prob could have if he wasnt such a pussy

 

to be honest any road with long dusty bends are great or big motorway islands

I was thinking of a more 'epic journey' than a quick blat down a lane

Cat&Fiddle has took many a biker to heaven rather than two wheeled nirvana, doesnt help that they do 150mph on it

unfortunatley very true and all of the roads above have the potential to be very dangerous and i dont promote breaking the speed limit

[4parajon]

Oi Rich, how can we add our roads when you've put them down allready

[sab6024]

Mmmmm Cornwall has some wicked country roads to drive but my Fave down here is called Scotland Road which has a hump backed bridge in the middle of it which you can proper take off on I did rip the exhaust off my XR4x4 once though, that was after I'd already flattened the exhaust on another attempt

[Jimbob-Squarepants ©]

Hhhmmm there isn't any round here... although I do like a spank down the A2 or A20 into Kent

[mk1super]

my Fave is Scotland Road

 

Thats a great name for a road that

[MK1 Dave]

Flippin' eck Rich, don't tell everyone! Decent biking roads are clogged up enough with tin cans! Some friends of mine, particularly south of the border, think Wales is full of speed cameras and clones of Richard Brunstrom on every corner. Thats why they don't come up to ride it, and I'm quite happy for it to stay that way. The last thing you need is a straightline hero coming up thinking they're "The Daddy" and wobbling round because they haven't seen a decent corner since they showed the IOM TT on telly last year! Honestly, I'm not joking, somebody from the south on a bikers forum I visit listed a dual carriageway as one of their favourite roads
