Every now and then, road planners make a great road for bikes

Found this road by accident today (took a wrong turn and there it was!)

Take a look at this:

Click on the link, then centre up on the circular road to the left of the golf club. Then close in until you can see the full circle and press the "satellite" button. Not quite circular, so it does tighten in places. But tight enough to really lean it over, open enough to keep the throttle pretty open.

Top fun. If you come to ride in the UK and are in the Chigwell area, well worth a try on a nice, dry day!

They're always fun. There's one in Melbourne that takes you onto the Citylink tollroad.

I know that Road. It is the on ramp for the M11 motorway. You can't go all the way around as it raises you up to the motorway level.

No problem getting the knee down on that one.

One of my favorite on-ramps is on the bike testing route for some bike dealers.

A left hander that tightens up then opens nicely onto a little straight under the bridge where you can open up onto the motorway - here's the link...

I was wondering who the hell would name a road Chigwell Lane, then i realised this was in England :Oops:
