Is there a road which you've not ridden but have seen pictures, read about or know someone who has ridden it and you just want to go there at some time to fulfill that ambition.

Where is that road???

I would say that after watching the film 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World' that the CA 74 from Lake Elsinore to San Juan Capistrano holds a lot of my interest. The smooth sweepers, elevation gain and excellent sight distance makes this one the top of my list. Also would love to ride the Dragon's Tail (must be on everyone's list). I'm kind of spoiled here in Colorado with my personal favorites: CO 92 west from Sapinero, CO 149 from South Fork to Gunnison and CO 12 from La Veta to Trinidad. So many roads, so little time to ride...

Oh yes!.......It's called the M25! , One day it would be fantastic to ride around it without touching the gearshift or brake lever once :razz: :razz:

That is pure fantasy!, so i'll go with the road that comes down from the basque mountains into Barcelona in Spain. It's that road you always see in the bike mags where they shoot the picture from the top and all you can see as far as the horizon is mile after perfect mile of twisties and switchbacks all the way down. ......Tiger heaven :razz:
