Are you a motorcyclist looking for a more interesting drive? Maybe you’re looking for a challenge, or a change of scene. There are plenty of roads you can take your motorbike on that will test your skills. Here’s a list of some of the best roads in the UK to go motorcycling. Cat and Fiddle Road [ https://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/council_and_democracy/council_information/media_hub/media_releases/safety-record-of-the-a537-cat-and-fiddle.aspx ] Situated between Buxton and Macclesfield, this road is named after the pub at its summit. It’s known for being one of the most dangerous roads in the UK, full of tight bends and livestock crossing. It has gorgeous views over Greater Manchester, the Peak District and the Cheshire Plain.

We’ve all heard of Route 66 – one of the first highways in the US and certainly the most famous. It was an important route for people moving west in the 1930s and communities living on the route found relief in the route as more traffic meant more business to their shops and restaurants. Now it’s a popular road trip, boasting attractions, ghost towns and classic American diners. However, Route 66 isn’t the only road trip worth doing in America.

Who said that a road trip abroad was a tricky task? There are plenty of countries you can take your own car to and have the adventure of a lifetime.

France https://driveeurope.co.uk/2014/08/20/road-works-a16-between-calais-and-dunkirk/ Depending on where you go, this could be one of the quickest journeys. If you want to stay around Calais, it’ll be a relatively short journey – however, if you want to go to Paris you may have to add in a few hours. It’s worth the drive, however, as France has lots of beautiful towns to visit. You’ll need a few things in your car if you do this drive – a breathalyser, a warning triangle and a reflective triangle are all required. You also can’t use any apps that show you where speed cameras are. Germany https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/germany...
