Favorite stretch(es) of road?

[Meerkat]

I rode River Rd out to Leesburg this past weekend and wandered around lost for a couple hours just checking out roads. Thought it might be nice to have a thread for sharing favorite stretches of roads in addition to the dangerous road report thread. I've got one to start it off...

Van Brady east to Molly Berry Rd south to Baden Naylor south to Nelson Perrie east to Bald Eagle School south-Rode this stretch one afternoon last week and it was a nice stretch without a lot of traffic in the middle of the afternoon and enough nice curves to keep it interesting.

Here is one of my favorites.  I really miss this road...

That's nice! I bet the views are nearly as incredible as the curves. Guess I can't really ride there from here, huh.

These were taken from a few of the overlooks there.

Oh yea, back to the original point, too many to list but mostly in Montgomery County, between the Potomac and I-270, past Point of Rocks all the way up to Harpers Ferry.

That's quite a list, sugonaut. 

Guess I'll have to fill up with gas somewhere along the way.

Riding videos freak me out so much since there is no physical perception of riding, I just feel like I'm going really fast and I don't know when I'll start flying!

Or just about any road leading south out of Hochspeyer, through Johanneskreuz.
