As there are loads of A and B roads out there we could compile these by vote maybe??   A57 Snake Pass (only in Summer lol)

Do you mean something like bestbikingroads.com? They've already got 400 roads listed for GB.

Just had a look at bestbikingroads.com. A new site to me, but well worth while, even though it hasn't got one of my favourite locals, the B5105 from Ruthin to Cerrigydrudion.
I've been told (thanks, Puds) that the unclassified road from Beulah to Tregaron is one of the wonders of Wales.

Ha - I'm with TC!!!   Well ok, if you want a road that truly scares you, try the Furka Pass in Switzerland .... just don't look down!!

I'd like to suggest the road around Mull, as well as the A85 (I think) out to Oban. :)

No, no no, abctrev and Nutkin... those roads you mention are RUBBISH!!!   You have MUCH better roads in England, not even worth the long ride up here...   *cough*

Actually TeeCee, on reflection, you're quite right. Rubbish roads, packed with caravans and speed traps, no scenery to look at, not worth letting anyone else know about them. No one at all... ;) Don't even think of going up past Fort William towards Inverness, or back down the A9, you'll hate it.

Yeah, the fun's gone right out of the A83 up Loch Lomond now they've straightened the twisty bits out and you can actually get past the caravans.
Horizontal rain, midges specially trained to bite the English...nahh, forget it.

Carry on like this and we can have the place to ourselves

The A44 out from worcester to Aberystwyth. Stop at crossgates cafe for lunch. always loads of bikes on sunday. At the roundabout wether you carry on for aberystwyth or go north towards newtown and welshpool or south towards Brecon. you cant go wrong.Thumbs Up

Gotta be the B*** Fettercairn to Feughside over the Cairn o'Mount (road number top secret, eh TC?).  Great road with a smashing pub at the end.  The road over the top to Applecross is the nearest thing to an Alpine pass I've ever experienced in the UK.  Any West Coast B road is also visually stunning.   Back in Blighty, any B road in the Yourkshire Dales has got to be experienced.  A trek over the top to the Tan Hill pub then South to Hawes (via Nutkin's Buttertubs - ooer) has roads to savour and views that can take your breath away.   Not so much a road, but a destination is the Hartside Cafe.  Get there on a good day and the view of the Lake District is immense.  Onward to the Lakes and the road over HardKnott Pass is car-dodgingly superb.
