So I had a thought. Why don't we put together a list of the best rides. Post your absolute favorite ride that you have ever done, and I will tally up the votes and keep this post updated with them. That way we will have an ordered list of the greatest rides according to this community. And feel free to come back and change your vote, but make sure you say what you are changing it from so that I can update the vote count appropriately.

I'll start: California Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Monterey (or vice versa).

1. Bouquet Canyon near Santa Clarita, California - 2 Votes
2. California Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Monterey (or vice versa) - 1 Vote

Hmm, mine change as i discover new ones but right now my favorite is Bouquet Canyon near Santa Clarita CA. Great views, great twisties, almost no cars and a couple places you can open up safely.

Your finally back in Simi? There are several you need to hit up. If you head out your way to the 126 take that up to lake piru thats a good ride and super close to you. Angeles crest of course is a classic and so is mulholland.

I am! Althought I somehow managed to break the clutch cable on my bike on Saturday and I'm currently waiting for the part to come in to get that fixed, but I should be up and running Thursday. It is absolutely killing me, this is the first time I haven't been able to ride since I got my bike.
And thanks for the tips! I will definitely check those all out soon.
Have you ever taken Topanga all the way down to the beach? On a map it looks like a great ride, but I have never actually taken that road, so it could be terrible pavement or something...

all the time, bout 15 minutes from my house. problem is its packed as hell with cars and only one lane. If you want a great ride take topanga to mulholland and that either to kanan and head left to the beach or just stay on mulholland all the way and youll hit the beach eventually thats my favorite. You'll go by two places where they take your photo on your bike and the famous rock store where all the bike stop. When you get to the water Go right along PCH and you wind up in camarillo and can get the 118 back to simi. Go left and youll eventually hit topanga again and you can take that back. Sorry we digressed on this thread, everyone list more great rides. I stay close for the most part but would love to hit some good ones in say AZ or NV

yea that is definitely one of the better roads ive taken couldn't agree more. PCH is also high on the list but that is more of a cruise it and enjoy the amazing weather and view the ocean!

Counted. Anyone else care to contribute? These are almost all in California so far, and while I appreciate the fact that we have fantastic roads out here, there must be some good ones elsewhere..?

Sunrise Highway by far my favorite local road. However all time favorite it's a toss up between two. the 168 coming out of Bishop CA. Still kicking myself 2 years later that I let my GoPro battery die and didn't film that. Amazing twisties, elevation changes, and canyon walls feet from the road. Absolutely amazing. The other is Hwy 9 in Utah going through Zion National Park. Jaw dropping scenery and super fun twisties.

Looking at the 33 on Google Earth it looks amazing.

IKR only bad thing even for me is that it takes a little over an hour to get there and then another hour or more to reach the other side or any population or stores or gas thus there and back are more than half a day and riding it alone not so good with no cell phone reception for miles incase of an emergency
