A414

Harlow to: Finchingfield

The A414 from Harlow to Chipping Ongar has some good bends but a few double white lines. At the Four Wantz roundabout (BP garage) turn left onto the B184 to Great Dunmow, when you get to the T junction after about 7 miles turn right on to the A1060 Chelmsford. Then after about a mile turn left back onto the B184. Go through Great Dunmow High street, it's a bit narrow but loud pipes do sound good. As you leave Dunmow turn right onto the B1057, which is on a left hand corner. This road will take you all the way to Finchingfield. The road surfaces are all pretty good and there are some good corner combinations with a left hander that just gets tighter and tighter between Dunmow and Finchingfield. When you get there, there is a good biker friendly pub on a big green that gets really busy in the summer.


B656

Codicote to: Hitchin

[This is the correct report: The road is the B656 and not the A507 as erroneously stated in my earlier submission] 7 miles in Hertfordshire, although the mile or so from The Royal Oak to Hitchin is just straight. The road is national limit from the end of the 30 limit in Codicote. Some good fast-but-interesting bends, and a couple of tighter ones (I thought they were max 50 before but I deliberately did 'em at 50 and it felt really slow!), but in the main it's too quick and narrow to get your knee down in safety. The small straights have some up-and-downage to maintain your interest. The main fun of the road is not in one feature in particular but the feel of the road as a whole. A resident herd of deer can usually be seen at the western edge of Knebworth Park. The surface is generally good but there are some repaired strips which spoil your line in a couple of corners.


A595

Calder Bridge to: Broughton In Furness

This road is mega, very few Police so speed is not a problem. Road condition is very good, well surfaced, fast, good combination of bends, over rises, few cars, this is one of the best roads in the UK for going fast and safe on. I won the MGP in 1991, and practiced on this road, it taught me alot. www.mcspares.co.uk


A939

Grantown-on-Spey to: forres

A very well surfaced road with little or no traffic,some interesting fast and not so fast curves, quite windy at times and very exposed. Only a couple of rough patches and absolutely NO cameras.
