It's further, but if you can get over to the Sierras try highway 49, between Counterville and Mariposa. Excellent surface, varying from fast to very tight curves and elevation changes. Check it out:
(IMG:http://www.pashnittours.com/photos/2007-09-14/Img_2302_Hwy49.jpg) Or for a longer drive try over 108 (Sonora pass) to 395, south to 120, then back over Tioga pass and the mountains through Yosemite. Absolutely unmatched. A good way to find curvy roads is to see where the sportbike riders go. Their whole reason for being is curves, and they can't have bad surfaces. The "Roads" section of the Pashnit Touring site is a good one, with reviews of a lot of the good roads in California, maps, spectacular photos and tour documentaries. Unfortunately he's started charging a membership fee for access to the full site, but some areas are still free. As an example of a road review look at the Mosquito Ridge review, with a pretty cool VIDEO of the road. I could do without the music, but the road is awesome, 40 miles of curves. Hundreds of others like that, all over California. So many roads, so little time... |
