Brentwood to: Saffron Walden
Mobile cameras througout this area now. Watch your speed in the villages and on the side roads. Plod everywhere it seems as Essex are cracking down on us. Campaign to rid area of speeding bikes apparently.
Ingleton to: Hawes
If you're ever on the way up to Kirby Lonsdale on the A65, take a right at Ingleton. The road is a cracking 18 mile stretch which ends in the little village of Hawes where many bikers stop on a Sunday. Some superb twisty bits. Watch out for the dip in the road. You'll be flying through the air before you see it if you're giving it some!! Need to slow down for the picnic area though, about half way up, as people park their cars either side of the road and then wander across the track. How inconsiderate!!
Bedford to: Somewhere near Peterborough (A1)
I first rode this little blinder back in 1986 when I passed my bike test and have never tired of it. Coming out of Bedford past the Golf centre on your right there is nearly always a speed trap, so take it easy until you see the G.L.F (go like f..k) sign. You start off with a tight right hander and then swoop downhill- watch for blind car drivers at the jct at the bottom of the hill. This road consists of many 90 deg. bends but all are visible and the land is mainly undulating. Because of these it is a cracking place to learn how to get your knee down. In one of the tiny villages there is a primary school right by the side of the road so PLEASE keep your speed down thru there folks. When you reach the T- junction at Kimbolton turn left and through Kimbolton itself. Immediately after the village turn right and carry on, the road becoming a litte bumpy in places. Cross over the A14 on the flyover and turn right at the T jct.After Old Weston turn right at first jct (this is easy to miss!) and carry on. Enjoy until the A1 and turn round- the road is very different the other way as some bends have non constant radii!
Stadhampton to: Watlington
Another worth a visit if you live nearby. One absolutely cracking right hander with positive camber and excellent surface.
