Default Great Curvy roads in your area!

Today I was thinkin about all the great curvy roads in my area that I love to cruise when I want to test my cars suspension out a bit. Do any of you guys have some really windy or curvy roads where you live so you can do the same?

My favorite truly local road is the Waddell Creek Road. We had several of our cruises at local meets there. Over on Mt. Rainier the roads are amazing. Behind Mt. St. Helens also.

Perth is pretty terribad, but we do have some hills. There are two roads that I use to cut loose:



This is a housing estate. They bought up all this empty land, laid the roads, then ran out of money. It is like a real track, except smaller and with kerbs. I've crashed two of my cars here and walked away un harmed







This is the road in the hills. It is a pretty sick road, for want of something better. This is where targa rally stages are hosted if they do come to perth. There is a sheer drop about two feet from the edge of the road for most of it, so unless you have big, brass coconut testes, you don't push too hard. Its a nice drive though. The roads surrounding this are also pretty nice, but you really have to be going over 60mph before they become challenging, and there are houses everywhere. Its definitely not ideal.
