I was just thinking of the places I have been on a bike, the great roads across the USA, none outside the USA yet but maybe in the future a trip abroad will come.
Here is my List of favorites no paticular order
Deals Gap TN/NC Cherehola Skyway TN/NC Shell Canyon -WY Going To The Sun Road Glacier National Park MT Chief Joseph Seanic Highway WY Pacific Coast Highway CA Loneliest Road In America Hwy 50 NV Mark Twain Forest hwy 120 MO Ozarks AK The Trace KY Black Canyon Of The Gunnison hwy 92 CO Cache La Poudre Cameron Pass CO Independence Pass CO Uranium Highway CO Million Dollar Highway CO Grand Canyon AZ Coconino AZ Yosimite CA Cannery Row CA Becon Hill CA Alices Resturant CA Westgard Pass NV Loveland Pass CO Squaw Pass CO Trail Ridge - Road Rocky Mountain National Park CO Creede CO Silver Thread CO Road of the Anchients NM Cimmarron Canyon NM Santa Fe Baldy NM Sandia Peak NM Jimez Springs NM Grand Mesa CO Road of Ledgends CO Beartooth Pass MT Mamoth Hot Springs WY Needles SD Badlands SD
In the states i have two. Cty Trk U, Ct Trk B, and Glidden drive in Door co wisconsin. Some of the best roads up here. In germany, I rode on some roads around Weinheim which were outstanding smile.gif i wish i had a pic
Palomar Mountain (highway 78) - CA Montezuma Grade (between Ranchita and the Borrego Desert) - CA Highland Valley Road (Escondido) - CA Ortega Highway (highway 74) Julian (highway 79 I think?) - CA
All of those are SoCal, most of those (besides the Ortega Highway) can be hit up in the same trip because they are in the same area.
How come no one ever mentions 190 out of Springville/Porterville CA?? LOTS of turning to be done there. Westguard Pass (south of Bishop CA) is 2 minutes from my front door. 26 miles round trip and I'm grinning for hours after.
Adelaide to Lobethal, South Australia Bull's Creek road, Meadows to Goolwa, South Australia Willunga to Cape Jervois, South Australia Oxley Hwy, Port Macquarie to Walcha, New South Wales Puquio to Abancay to Anta, Peru

Uh, aren't you the one complaining about NOT riding enough in the Northern Ontario thread? I wish I had ridden half those roads...I have to slab it for hours to find anything even resembling twisties...lucky bastard!
I am jumping in with Lobster. I hate all of you guys that have roads like that anywhere near you to ride. tongue.gif
Around here we have to find little spots that have 5-6 curves in them, and pray that minvans and gravel aren't in the road while chipmunks are trying to cross. Lobster knows that I mean, laugh.gif
And, does my driveway count as a great road? I at least get to see my kids when I get down to the end of it.
Around here we have spots where you can at least get a few minutes of fun in, after you take half an hour to drive where they are. But, for just scenic pleasure, you can't beat the "Tp of the Thumb" and take a ride on M25 along the east shore of MI and up around with a lake view.
Hy 12, Utah Cedar Breaks, Utah 25/198 Calif 108, Carson Pass, Calif Sherman Pass, Calif Hy 14, Big Horn Mountains, Wyoming 145, Colorado Hy 120 east past Mono Lake from 395, Calif
My two favouritest roads so far are the road from Coromandel to Whitianga to Kopu, and the back road between Russell and Whangarei. But I still really enjoy the western side of the Kaimai Ranges summit road, heading east.

Boquest Canyon Rd. - Basically just outside my front door. Soledad Canyon Rd. - Simple, scenic and enjoyable. Angeles Crest Hwy. - If you've ever spent any time in Los Angeles you know this road Santa Suzanna Pass Short little run from SF Valley to Simi Valley 17 Mile Drive - Monterey, CA Highway 1 - Pretty much the entire length of California up to Fort Bragg Highway 395 Yosemite Valley The entire islands of Kauaii, Oahu and The Big Island - Hawaii
Others that I cannot think of at the moment. I just like to ride! Especially when I get away from town, the traffic and stop lights!
