Most awesome roads

[Huffer]

In the theme of the Tail of the Dragon road, post up ONE PICTURE of your most favorite road to travel, whether it be one you've personally traveled, or one you'd like to.

Give location details, and description of road surface, number of corners etc.

Keep it brief, use a good pic (sharp, not huge and blurry) and let the road do the talking!

bah, I didn't get any pics of it during the LaCrosse meet (as I was driving) and I'd have to travel fairly far to go take a snapshot :lol:

Land is flat around here...no fun roads, just on and off ramps.

My favorite road that is close by is Poplar Creek. It follows a creek through a valley. Nice high speed curves, nothing drastic but alot of fun and very pituresque(sp).I'll try to get a pic this weekend.

Edit: This road is located in Bellvue TN. It's Tarmac. Hope this make you a little happier Shane

I'll update this after I put the suspension on... but there is a sign at the begining of the road with a curvy arrow and underneath it says 7 miles... :twisted: On dirt none the less.

Ok, to generate some interest, here's a pic I took of the beginning (or end) of a road in NZ that I would battle with.
It's called "Paekakariki Road" (pro. PIE-KAK-A-RIEEKI) and it is classified as an "highway" which means it has a speed limit of 100 km/h, and is only wide enough for 1.5 cars on most corners.

It's approximately 5km long, so it classifies as a hill-climb (or downhill). This pic represents the first half kilometre from sealevel up into the hill - the rest of the road extends inland, and twists around 90deg and 180deg bends, with off camber corners and sweepers. Chicanes, also.

:lol: The only pics I can find are quite old, but it's the same as it was in these pics, only paved. It's called the Lariat Loop and it was an old mining road used to get up into the mountains. At the bottom of the road is my high school, at the top is my house. It's filled with hairpin turns and switchbacks. :grin:

I usually take the highway home seeing as this road takes about 25 minutes to drive, but when I feel like driving I take this one.

Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

http://www.diebachhubers.de/bilder/canada2000/images/Cabot-Trail.jpg

Warning - tourism information -

The Cabot Trail can be considered the most beautiful scenic drives in the world. Named for famous explorer John Cabot, the Cabot Trail winds around the rocky splendour of Cape Breton's northern shore, ascending to the incredible plateaus of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. This magnificent highway is carved into the sides of mountains that rise high above the shimmering waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Lookoffs offer unforgettable vistas of Cape Breton's rugged coastline, where pods of whales can often be seen just offshore and bald eagles soar aloft on the ocean breezes. The trail is about 185 miles long and is fairly well maintained. Best to drive in the fall to witness all the colors of nature as the trees turn to vibrant colors
