and now lets try a bigger font size hello peeps!
for the past two weeks i've been out & about sometimes on my own & other times with mates riding through some twisty roads trying to build up my confidence when cornering and been trying to trust my tyres a bit more aswell. after the crash i had back in august last year i was and still take corners slower than usual, so now whenever i got the time & petrol money, i just go for a ride through exeter-woodbury-exmouth route and im bored of it now! anyway so i was wondering if you can think of any nice twisty roads that i can go on to sortout this little problem
thanks!
Samir.

The A3124 between Winkleigh and North Towton aka 'Bambam rise' is a lovely road

Also the A3072 from Bickleigh to Crediton is awesome. So is Cadwell in Lincoln.

I have to agree with everything Gavin just said. Come out for a bimble and see some of these roads.

yep im gonna post threads between now & then for a bimble might be sunday evenings as most of the roads are nice & quiet. (I work during the day on sundays.. pretty messed up i know.. ) cheers Si!

there are always sunday mornings - early.

also, there are a large number of people who work shifts so have midweek days off. sunday evenings the roads are normally busy with old folk driving home after a trip to the coast.

post up any time, you will get answers. there is a circuit including bickleigh and bambam rise that will have you grinning all the way home - i promise......

yes yes I'm riding the blimmin every day! just trying to enjoy riding it a bit more thats all

Try the Bude to Holsworthy road, or the Taunton to Bridgewater via Williton is another good one. The coast road to Weymouth is a good one when you have got your confidence sorted.

The road from Bude to Camelford to Wadebridge is a nice road too but that all depends on if you wanna venture down into Cornwall!

The M5 is a blinder
