A838 : Collaboll - Durness - Tongue (United Kingdom)April 25, 2011DocClog, I'm about a year late in answering about the cafe. AND, oops - its not at Oldshoremore! It's in the hamlet of Tarbet near Fangemore. Same area tho. Very good soup, excellent pies and cakes with a five sea view. Vernon to Needles, BC Hwy 6 (Canada)January 30, 2011Brilliant run and a toss up between a 4 or 5 star road. I went with 4 because there are an average number of straights. But, ideally Hwy 6 has just about everything - big sweepers, some tight twisties, a mental sinuous section near Needles, broad valleys, big mountains and forests. The Needles - Fauquier ferry across Lake Arrow is free. Chimney Rock/Vineyard Dr - Wine Country (United States)November 26, 2010Okay, you are heading south in search of good roads and youve taken Nacimiento/Fergeson Road to Fort Hunter-Liggit and G14 south past Lakes San Antonio and Nacimiento. About 6 miles past Nacimiento Dam youll come to Chimney Rock Road. Turn right onto it and enjoy fine tarmac and undulating twisties for the next five miles. Then youll come to Adelaide Drive on the left. Take it and it leads to Vineyard Drive after about 3 miles. Vineyard Drive is just that. Vineyards and wineries along the road. This section is more travelled than the first sections but a very pleasant way to wind yourself south to Hwy 46 There are a few interesting short rides off Chimney Rock and Adelaide such as Klau Mines Rd and Cypress Mountain Rd. Short but sweet if time to explore. Wine money ensures the road conditions are maintained in good order. L96 : Wolfach - Kniebis (Germany)November 26, 2010Stunner section of road that follows a stream for much of its length, so you know its curvy and nice scenery. Brilliant little towns and mammoth size farm houses. Much like many of the areas roads and one can/should try to spend a full day exploring them. Many riders passing through stick to Hwy 500, but if near Wolfach, take this one north! You won regret it. Forest Road 42 / Oregon Skyline Road (United States)November 23, 2010BTW, following the road is easy with the exception of an ambiguous side road that can easily be mistaken for the FR42 route. The junction is Y shaped and one should keep left. There is no sign posting here, but there are bicycle road paintings that show the way with the number 42 on the tarmac. |
