What is your favourite road?
I searched and scrolled through 10 pages before giving up and starting a new thread!

Why is the Imlay Rd in there instead of Mt Darragh?
The former has a rough surface and not so much as even a moderately challenging corner; the only thing going for it is that it's in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere, meaning you can wind it right out and see just how fast your bike has to go over such a shit surface before it tankslaps you three stories into the air. Mt Darragh is just as deserted, but the surface is nigh-on perfect, the corners range from tight to medium-speed and, thanks to the rainforesty bit, it even smells better than the Imlay Rd.
The road which most blew my mind the first time I rode it would have to be Black's Spur.
The road I can most easily just lap until I get dizzy and throw up remains the Old Rd.
The road I like the most, but which drains me too much to contemplate turning around and doing it again is a tie between Falls Creek and Mt Buffalo.
The Clyde has become the road I tend to go sickest on; it's wide open at both ends, meaning you pile into the tighter stuff in the middle already in the zone and don't really slow down any until you come into the wide-open stuff at the other end and go even sicker.
The road I like the most without actually enjoying would be the Cotter.
The road I must get back to one day is Waterfall Way between Dorrigo and Nelligen.
