Default If You Could Ride Any Road In North America....

Perfect weather, no traffic, and you can ride what ever you want. Which road(s) would it be and why?

I would like to compile a nice long list of roads worth riding here and in Canada.

Talk to me Goose! (Geese)

No traffic? Blue Ridge Parkway.

Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. I'd prefer if they repaved it too though.

I haven't been on enough roads to know which is best...but I've heard some things. I guess the Gap would be my choice, having never been on it, only seeing and hearing things.

Highway 2 Angeles Crest Highway from one side to the other. It's like 60+miles of curves. The curves are not as tight and intense as Deal's Gap but they do go on for 60-miles.

You ever ride Mullholand Drive or Glendora Mountain Road? I can't remember the name of the road but there are some cool switchbacks in Monrovia. Rim of the World in another cool road on the way up to Big Bear.
