Agreed, nearly all my fave rides involve heading through torrington one way or the other and most importantly, there's a burger van there too!(and the young serving wench has lovely buns) 8)

Hi I'm new the to the site.

I can recommend the A374 in Cornwall between Torpoint and Trerulefoot - known as the Torpoint Twisties.

It's a satisfying 10 miles at any speed but be careful as it has caught out many riders who have pushed it too hard, don't be a statistic! Take your time and work out the different cambers involved, great fun when you get it right.

All the best
