Guest Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 A4059 Heads over the Brecon Beacons. Not that long or particularly fast (although that may be cos of my bike :oops: ) but it takes some precision riding and has very little traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegade Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Can't ride em yet, but aren't motorways boring? just endless stretches of straight road :? They are thats true. but I like it because it's taking me home I havn't really got a favourite piece of road, I just like nice smooth grippy surfaces with loads of bends and a cafe at the end of it. Preferably without any other vehicles on it OR SHEEP !! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty_onna_divvi Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Dunno what the proper name for the road is, but I like the locally known "seven bends of death" on the way out from Caversham (Berks) towards M&P's in Oxford. And to top it off theres a cafe next to M&P@s to make it worth getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer6 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 mines the A696 Hartside pass Yep good road, did it twice over the bank holiday weekend. But it's a dangerous one, I think it's best to take it very easy the first time, that road takes no prisoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazer6 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Just realised I had a bit of a blonde moment and it's actually next weekend we're going up to Hartside not this weekend. I get easily confused and for some reason thought it was this weekend. This sunday it looks like us NW foccers are going to Wales. The NW posse are coming to mine for bacon butties and then aiming to arrive at the hartside cafe for 10. It'll be up and down up and down all day. Bazz I've basically been out a fair bit on the bike, done a couple of midweekers, and a weekend trip out most weekends, oh and a weekend away in the Forest of Dean. It's all good. My bike's a beauty isn't she. It's easy to find my bike in a carpark, just look for the crash bars and slightly curled round levers. Oh and I'll be the youngest looking female in the group of the fazers. One of our guys has a tuono (and is featured in Ride magazine) so look for fazers and the tractor!
