    Hairpin roads??

    Are there any roads around with hairpins involved?

    Thanks!

    Forks of the credit road in Belfountain. Although, it's extremely tight and you can't go very fast. Next best thing would be on-ramps.

    Sulphur Springs / Mineral Springs Road in Ancaster/Dundas. I don't recommend these hairpins if you're a noob.

    I wouldn't call it a hairpin, but definitely a fun road but that last corner is a beotch (that's the one I crashed 3 times on last week trying to keep an entry speed of 60km/h).





    Appleby between Derry and Sideroad 14 is really tight and steep, but other than onramps I don't think there's any roads with long hairpins, atleast I haven't found any.

    The roads in B.C are some of the best you can ride!
    You got to on your game, carving corners and checking out the scenery all at the same time. Going off the road could mean certain death.

    Heres another good corner, heading to the ferry at Kootney lake.
    Voted one of the best riding roads in the west.

    Mineral Springs turns to gravel on it's west side, by Hwy.52. From the Ancaster side you make a right onto Binkley before it gets nasty.

    This road isn't near to where we are, but it has some hairpins on it for sure. Click on the Powerpoint presentation at
    http://ca.geocities.com/chrischilton...om/motorcycle/ to see the most awesome road, but I am not sure I would ride it.
    Keep the front wheel in the air and the shiny side up.

    I rode Forks of the Credit road today for the first time in a LONG while, and the little hairpin there is really nice now, not that it wasn't before but its great to have a fresh smooth surface! I did notice there was a fair gouge taken out of the road already, not sure if its would cause one to dump there but keep an eye out anyhow, it was on the inside of the turn.
