Ross-on-Wye to: Ledbury / Malvern
Loads of gradient, quick flicks, hairpins, S's, etc. and room to overtake. Great test of man & machine, space available to really open out the motor and cook the brakes. No police, occasional old fart doing 35mph - takes a bit of learning. Loads of quick bikes use this road in the summer - many clock 130mph + on the straight past Much Marcle. Well worth a visit - start slow and build up to a frenzy!
Builth Wells to: Trawsfynydd & Beyond
Fast, Fast, Fast and Very quick in some places. Long sweeping bends with good visibility. Gatsos at Llandrindod Wells. Nice sweeping hill road from Dinas Mawddwy to Dolgellau. Mid Wales' best roads and not a Policeman in sight ....Thank God
Wolsingham to: Alston/Penrith
Mixture of fast high speed corners, straights followed by long sweeping A roads. Following this there is a quick stop at Hartside Cafe. Filling up before heading for the nutter part of the ride down to Penrith
Barton le Clay, Bedfordshire to: Hitchen, Hertfordshire
Take the B655 out of Barton towards Hexton and Hitchen and as soon as you come out of the village it's into a slightly curved open blast of countryside. As you come up the slight rise a lovely right hand bend (be careful of the drop on the left!) takes you down into Hexton. It is here where it is worth slowing down to the 40mph speed limit for the 150 yards through the village as the bottom of the hill into Hexton levels off very quickly and sports bikes nearly ground themselves!
After going through the bottom of Hexton the road rises steeply and comes out of the 40mph limit, opening the throttle again sees a flurry of trees fly by before dropping round a fast left hander before rising again into a fast rising right before slowing to a 3rd/2nd gear sharp left hander. Opening the throttle again blasts you down the flat straight out of the trees and up the hill through a fast right hander and into another fast left (watch the rough tarmac!). A little wiggle left takes you onto the flat and round the fast slight left hander and onto another fast straight. Going back into the trees takes you into a quite fast right (be careful as it is on a deceptive slight rise making the bike very light!) and then into a good series of fast lefts and rights finsihing with a slightly sharper left. The trees then open as you blast along the last curvy straight. Caution must be taken towards the end of the straight due to a right hand bend with roads joining on either side, after which another quite sharp left takes you up the hill and into the 40mph which starts the slow down into Hitchen.
A cracking 4 mile ride which you can keep going over getting faster and faster with no reported police presence (after 4 years of riding the route) and not too much traffic. Bliss!
