    Beyond that slight bend is 1400 meters of dead straight absolutely pristine tarmac. Lots of bikes were enjoying it today while I was stopped to take that photo some lady on a CBR U-turned to have another go (and must have repeated at the far end as she came past again)!

    (Bulford Droveway for anyone wanting to admire it)

    Was a good day for it racked up over 100 miles without even leaving Wiltshire. Weird they made that road perfect, it wasn't awful before, there are busier and much worse roads nearby that need sorting. Wonder if someone on the council fancied a drag strip!

    Maybe some councillor lives up that road somewhere and just fancied improving his quality of life

    I'm not criticising what is an excellent post. Sign of the times however, when we are celebrating a small stretch of new tarmac and commending the LA. May copy and paste to show my Grandchildren what tarmacked roads looked like back in the 'good old days'. Lol. Slightly off topic, but reminds me of a telesales chap who called me the other day offering me a 'free' boiler paid for with 'government money.' I was quick to point out that the government don't have any money - it is my money in the first place. Let's not forget that the UK road user is one of the most heavily taxed in the world with fuel duty tax disc etc.

    You're right redken it's a sad state of affairs that most of our roads look like (or worse than) the rough bit my bike is parked on. Over 100 miles today mostly on the smaller roads and that stretch was the only piece of good surface I found.
