CVOHARLEY Top 10 List of favourite roads to ride
« on: January 11, 2014, 04:58:34 PM »

We would like to create a CVOHARLEY Top 10 List from each State & Province of your favourite roads to ride...

Please respond with just your #1 favourite road to ride from your State or Province

Once we have enough submissions, we'll create a Top 10 List for each State & Province for your riding pleasure.

Hopefully we will receive submissions from every State & Province, and even some from the UK, Europe, Australia and more!

Thanks for your input.


PS - I'll start things off with the first reply of my #1 favourite road to ride in my Province...

I'll play.

My favorite Ohio road is SR 93 from Beach City clear down to US 33.

Are there more challenging roads in Ohio? Sure. But this one is my favorite for many reasons.

The 10 miles of Harper's Ferry Road between Sharpsburg and the river is - when there's no traffic and no crud in the corners - one of the most entertaining roads I've ever ridden.  It's not a wide-open-throttle sweeper-fest like the MDH or the CS, rather it's an insanely technical back-and-forth, up-and-down ride that demands proper corner entry, brake usage, and gear selection. 

There are a ton of driveways on it, there's often buses loaded with people there for tubing on the river, and there's no passing zones for when you inevitably get caught behind slow traffic......But catch it in the early afternoon on a weekday when there's no one around and there's no sand and gravel in the corners......It's just freaking magical.

FWIW, there are a ton of fantastic roads around here, many of them longer or more scenic, many with far less traffic and other obstacles, but whenever I have out of state riders visiting, Harper's Ferry Road is the first place we go.

Great River Road between Sabula, Ia and McGregor, Ia. Wonderful twisties, great small towns, and beautiful Mississippi river views!

Starting in Potosi, MO near Hwy 8 and Hwy 21 intersection is Highway P.  Take Hwy P southwest to Hwy C to Viburnum, MO.  Don't know if my favorite, but one of 'em.

In Georgia, I'd have to say Georgia 60 between Dahlonega and Blue Ridge. Lots of fun curves and beautiful views!

Since I live in 2 places equally, I get 2 votes. :)

Colorado -- 550 from Durango to Ridgway through Silverton and Ouray.  Molas, Coal Bank & Red Mountain Passes.

California -- Highway 1 (with some 101) from Capo Beach all the Oregon border.

SJ Ron :)

P.S. in the top 15 list, Highway 58 between Santa Margarita and McKittrick does NOT pass over the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.

The Niagara Parkway  :2vrolijk_21:  It runs between Fort Erie and Niagara on the lake, winding along the Canadian side of the  Niagara River for 50 Km.  At one point you are no more than 60 yards away from Niagara Falls.  It is not as challenging as the Twisties in NC but it sure is a purdy road  :)
