Morgan Ford Road
Warren County, VA

map: Google Maps

Distance: ~ 8.5 miles
Road Condition: Moderate (pretty narrow)
Lined: No
Posted speed Limit:
Speed Enforcement: low
Traffic: Light

Comments: Very odd for me - almost zero turns.. a very long straight road - but great scenery, and some fun elevation changes to break up your high speed run.
(check out the nice run at about 8:20 - good visibility)

a note about the bridge: The existing multi-span bridge is a single lane structure built in 1925, which is 321-feet long with a single 11-foot wide lane. The existing bridge does not meet the current design standards and is in poor condition. During the design process the existing bridge was evaluated for repair and rehabilitation, but it was not economically feasible to pursue this course of action due to safety issues and economic reasons.

soon it will not be possible to experience this bridge - as it is being replaced.

The Reisterstown Road Test Drive Loop
Owings Mills, MD

map: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=G...via=1,2,3&z=14

Distance: ~ 7 miles
Road Condition: Excellent, but two speed humps
Lined: Yes
Posted speed Limit: 30
Speed Enforcement: usually near the red light
Traffic: moderate

Comments: fun twisty, narrow, backwoods road near a ton of car dealerships on Reisterstown Rd in Owings Mills. The Mini dealership there is the largest in the country, and they take people on this road for the test drive. I tested my STI there before buying it, too. But be careful and considerate. This is a residential area with some speed enforcement, a few stop signs around blind corners, and at least one corner that is too sharp for its posted speed. It is incredible fun, but be careful.

I don't have a video yet, but I may go out and get one this summer.
