We have numerous good roads in South Carolina that lead into the mountains north of Hwy. 11... 178 is real good, 130 just got paved... 28 starts being good in South Carolina. None of them are very long though, the mountains only stretch into South Carolina a little bit. But my "favorite" roads are these "three sisters", like rungs on a ladder between 76 and The Cleveland Pike. I guess they count as my favorite since they're the ones I "take a quick afternoon ride" on most often. I brought Joe and Wimp and Gordon down these roads last winter, Joe said our damn governor should quite worrying about the Confederate flag and pave some of our roads   https://goo.gl/maps/hL864tVDfo72-Mike |

....or Province? For plain old riding pleasure, lack of traffic, wilderness, scenery, variance (curves, hills, mountains...lakes...streams), definitely Highway 6 from Vernon BC across the Ferry at Arrow Lake and on to Nakusp. Has been completely re-paved over the past couple of years so the surface is good even up in the higher, more technical sections near the summit where traditionally you'd get frost heaves from the previous Winter. Several great little towns along the way with lots of BC mining history, and is a MUST ride for anyone riding in BC. From Nakusp, you can continue on to New Denver then Kaslo, Nelson, etc. along majestic Kootenay Lake, taking in other popular and equally scenic (although a bit busier) routes such as Hwy 31A, 31, and 3A. http://www.canyonchasers.net/maps/49/BC-6 |

County road 106 from 7 lakes drive to route 1 on the way to Hawks Nest Its pretty awesome in both directions since it was fully re surfaced
2nd place would be downhill toward 9 from Lake Placid (but only if they fix the damn potholes and washouts on the right side of the lane the 20 mile downhill stretch
I took the group thru 106 in October
3rd place would be Claryville Rd which is also called W Branch road in the Catskills. The whole way you are in deep woods with streams on either side and no cell service That will be on the ride next year one way or the other

Well, this is easy..... Skyline Drive becomes the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) all the way from Front Royal VA to TN and NC. Now there are many shorter stretches of road all over the place here that may be more fun and exciting for awhile. But none beats the BRP for one-road all-day pleasure. And except for holidays, traffic and cross streets are minimal.    |

We have a few cloverleafs. They're all awesome, so sorry, I can't just pick 1. We do have a nice loop around 4 lakes about an hour away, but the pavement is crap and it's packed with cabins and low speed limits...next closest good road is probably the Black Hills.  |

That's another good one... Been FAR too long since I've ridden that one! (And now that the statute of limitations has expired, the last time I rode it I accidentally crossed into Mexico at the Presidio crossing with my sidearm on me. Quickly did a U-Turn and scadaddled the heck back to Texas as soon as I realized what I'd done!)  |

He needs to get over to the East side of AZ. Highway 191 (Devil's Highway) from Clifton to Alpine, AZ has 600 turns in 90 miles. It rises from 2500' to over 9000'. Another one is BIA13 on the Navaho reservation East of Lukachukai. |

Another one is BIA13 on the Navaho reservation East of Lukachukai. It was good. Ron put together a ride there 2 or 3 years ago. It was fun. Its just a long ways for me and have only done it once so far. Thinking back about it, it was dampened because we had some friends with us that couldn't keep up. It wasn't enjoyable having to constantly slow down for them. |

Hwy 99 north of Vancouver, up to Lillooet BC. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Richmond,+BC/Lillooet,+BC/@49.8561429,-123.454616,8z/data=!4m15!4m14!1m5!1m1!1s0x54867599f4ef4d3d:0x6a5024adba02fab5!2m2!1d-123.133569!2d49.1665898!1m5!1m1!1s0x54808a484a0afd9d:0xd7d653f9c69afa57!2m2!1d-121.9367502!2d50.6863017!3e0!5i1 I usually only make it to Whistler, eat, and turn around, easily done on a work day between rush hours. But to continue all the way through the Duffy Lake Road, and then come back through the Fraser Canyon, for a circle route, makes a very nice long days summer ride, 12 hours. |

Can't really do a specific road here in Iowa but can point to a couple regions.
Eastern Iowa with the Great River Road. The Great River Road encompasses a number of State and county roads from Keokuk to New Albin. I get on this side of Iowa maybe once every couple year with the bike.
Western Iowa. The Loess Hills run down the western side of Iowa. Number of roads, mostly county roads,
run through the hills. I am on this side of the State and ride often in the hills. Spring and Fall are a little dicey on these roads as they are in rural areas with many blind hills and curves which pose issues during planting and harvesting season. Lot of ag traffic. But great roads.

My favorite road to ride is I75 south because it gets me out of Ohio to much better Kentucky roads. There are some decent roads near me but they are only a couple miles of good riding after too much time and miles in congested traffic. 95% of my time on 2 wheels is spent in other states since I can get to Kentucky or Indiana in less than 15 minutes and avoid a lot of traffic

I've only ridden it heading from west to east, though. |

Alberta Hwy 93, the Icefields Parkway, Lake Louise to Jasper. Not a consistently highly technical peg-scraping type of road, and in the sections where it might be, you're behind traffic anyway, but the scenery is absolutely spectacular! The first photo is mine, the second found on a Google search. The photo in my signature (with the river, mountain, and purple clouds) was taken from a pro photographer's web site, but was captured near the south end of that section of 93. http://www.canyonchasers.net/maps/48/AB-93  |

There's one big problem with it though...it can be extremely dangerous, as it's very difficult to keep your eyes on the road in front of you |

In Ontario...Hwy 2 from South Lancaster to Deseronto with a detour on to the 1000 Island Parkway between Brockville and Gananoque. This ride brings you along the St. Lawrence for a good bit of it, so it can be a cool ride in the early spring or late fall. We usually only make it to Kingston before we have to turn back. We have done this ride dozens of times. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/South+Lancaster,+ON/Deseronto,+ON/@44.5150776,-75.8863043,11.63z/data=!4m36!4m35!1m25!1m1!1s0x4ccc0266fa6b4a37:0xd325e77a6192993f!2m2!1d-74.4908227!2d45.1291875!3m4!1m2!1d-74.7131225!2d45.018531!3s0x4ccc10af1879299b:0xdff72bbeb665ca18!3m4!1m2!1d-75.6988581!2d44.5812619!3s0x4ccd0fa148a50e37:0x5cf09fcb67127333!3m4!1m2!1d-75.9120103!2d44.4054059!3s0x4ccd3fccaf55852b:0x166128de0bbbbe4c!3m4!1m2!1d-76.4484528!2d44.2404894!3s0x4cd2aa71dd195c4d:0xc09fad3b3c3ced12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d7d728abbad7eb:0xdaf3beb29a66bd0e!2m2!1d-77.0487329!2d44.1953988!2m1!1b1!3e0 |

California - State Rte 36 - especially from Red Bluff, west to the coast. Cali - . . . State Rte 96 - Between I-5 and Rte 299 (Willow Creek) (299 isn't too shabby either. Recent road construction west of Redding obliterated our Deals Gap of the West. Eight miles of twisty bliss has been reduced to six miles of sweepers.  ) (my domicile is on 96 in W/C)  |
