After seeing the response to the Essex and Herts ride out that happened this weekend I mentioned that I had a pack of routes I drew up in the past. http://1000rr.co.uk/general-1000rr-discussion/11463.htm Now I was asked to bung some routes up, so others can look at them, these routes that I have are all based from Haverhill and I have about 35 different routes ranging from 20 mile quickies to an 176 mile 3 counties monster (which I have in the passed eeked out to 235 mile 4 counties run) Are you all still interested in seeing these routes? If so I can list them up on here (google map based) An example of a route is from this previous weekend (Navvy and others created it and I just modified a few roads to capture some golden roads that cant be missed) http://goo.gl/maps/w0Kas Let me know if you want more routes and i'll draw some up. We can use this thread as a home for routes too if it is a wanted idea. Cheers Pete
Nice one Pete!! Yeah draw up as many routes as you know for our area then I think we should start trying them all out and giving them a ranking
Thats a start for routes, Route 4 is a monster but you can get some cracking pictures near the Bradwell Powerstation and Marina.

This site has helped me in the years for doing routes too. http://www.bestbikingroads.com/motorcycle-roads/motorbike-rides-in-united-kingdom-/east-anglia--___402.html
You are both welcome, I have about another twenty routes to put up, when I have finished I will go back and add some points of interest, bradwell for example has a spitfire memorial and the power station you can grab photos by.
If its ok with you Pete? I'd like to see this in stickies, some very good info for anyone travelling around the areas and it would be a shame to see it get buried.
By all means Gary sticky it, I'll keep adding to it and other bladers can too after all I've stated a vast area and there are plenty of roads I dont know about!
