Plymouth to: Lands End
Everything in one ride, from flat out dual carriageways to twisties with very few speed cameras and I've never even seen a police car.
Hertford to: Welwyn Garden City
Well what can you say from the minute you get onto the A414 at the Dusty Miller (Harlow end) and crank it open for a dream 5 miles of fast sweeping duel all the way to the roundabout at Stansted Abbotts, you're in a heap of trouble! cos they have just stuck up x2 50 mph speed cameras within 300 yards of each other cos all the berks in cars kept hitting each other and killing themselves at the cross the road junction to Hunsdon. When you continue along the A414 to Hertford you will be amazed at the sheer exhilaration of a full open throttle just past the newish Lancaster Merc dealer, down the hill to the next roundabout, along the straight to the next, hop across and then a sweeping right and left to the next roundabout, across, under the bridge, across the next roundabout, quick acceleration to 40mph as pold will be filming you at the junction, carry on past them a two fingered wave will do and then thrash it to the next roundabout, hop across and then climb up through the gears to full thrash for 3 miles and then smile. If you managed this then your a genious as Hertford is full of little shits being dropped off by mothers and therefore you have no chance. But try a late or early one and you will ENJOY!
Llangollen to: Betsy-Coed and beyond
As already posted, this a great road BUT a warning: The last two times we have ridden this route (returning from Ireland), we have been pulled! The first time stopped by a road block after going through a hidden mobile radar trap - the police bike that came after us couldn't catch up (we didn't know he was there) so radioed ahead. The second time we were shadowed by an unmarked helicopter (thought we were being paranoid) and then into a hidden speed trap. We were lucky because for various reasons we got away with it, but the police are targeting this road, particularly bikes, and the use of the helicopter has been confirmed by the police, so watch out! Being in the middle of nowhere on an empty road is no excuse to these boys.
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!
