Favorite Georgia Road!

[Kosh]

Everyone post your favorite public road around Atlanta that you like to drive for fun/excitement! Link it to google map so everyone can get an idea where it is. I will go first

You can start from here http://tinyurl.com/2cj3r3 and just go west following Dalrymple until it turns into Riverside.

Mine is about 2 minutes from my house. Riverside Drive. It starts right after you cross over Roswell Road, but it is called Dalrymple at that point. It is a beautiful area, lots of trees and very nice houses. Talking million dollor in this area. The road is full of sharp turns, most of them 30mph posted. There is even one 15mph posted turn on a steep hill that is wicked. Reminds me of laguna There are great climbs and a lot of blind turns. This road is pretty much carved right into the side of some pretty big granite hills. After a few miles it crosses over 285 and you can get on the highway there or keep going until the road runs into Mt Vernon Hwy.

It is a very technical road and is a blast unless you are stuck behind some crap car. It is a great place to test your suspension (yippy)

Mason Mill Rd
Decatur, GA 30033

It's the most curvy road with elevation changes in Atlanta.
It's by far the best though short.

Be careful as it's a neighborhood road and there's no room to correct any errors.

Temple Johnson Rd
Snellville, GA

Mine and Shannon's favorite local road.

Take it out of the reach of everyday drivers and hit the real roads. GA 180
It's about time we went back to our roots boys and showed the newbs the roads.

Like 1/4 mile from my house. Lots of elevation changes plus pastures on all sides for 80% of the road. Was my old bus route lol.

I can vouch for this.

It doesn't show up so well on the map, but my favorite turn in the world is on Centerville-Rosebud Rd. just south of where Tyrant's road is. Off camber, right-hander with the apex just as it crests the hill. Hit it at 70 and you'll wonder if you're about to fly.

Yeah that road is ammusing. I have a very funny story about that road though. I am sure you are aware of the two best turns on the road towards the end. Before i bought my MSP i was looking into WRX's. Well i was test driving my first one and the sales lady went along with us and sat in the back seat. She had to be easily in her 50's-60's. So we are tooling down that road and i see that sweet turn coming up. I accelerate a little bit and blip the throttle for the down shift. Around the same time i heard a *click* *click* *click* really fast coming from the back seat. It was the lady's rings quickly gripping the door handle. Suffice to say she let me test drive all the other cars by myself after that and ****** herself out of a deal on a WRX sedan because she wouldnt come down $5 a month.

Word! I tried to take my bike up there the other afternoon. I got all the way to where it runs into Johnsons Ferry and turned back. That last hill was such a b****, took me 10 minutes to get up without stoping. Thought I was going to bust a lung.

You ever been up to Caesars Head? It is right at the border between SC and NC up highway 276. It is a 40 minute drive from where my parents live and next time I go up to visit them I'll be taking my baby up to see how she likes it (wrc)

They used to have motorcycle climbs up there in the 70's. My friend's dad used to race up there and knew someone that died going off the mountain at an event.

that looks fun, and don't worry, GA180 won't let you down, some of the road there isn't room to put up railings so you can literally look down and see several white crosses

If it's the one I'm thinking of, that road rocks.

a friend and i went on thomas road on friday. the only road that i've ever been on with more old guys driving tractors than cars, i only saw one car on there btw. its a pretty good road, lots of places you can go pretty fast, just have to watch out for the parts with houses on the side of the road. liberty grove rd is pretty good too:

down at the bottom is the oh s*** section where you find out you are in fact going too fast, the bottom part kinda just appeared, a sharp turn out of nowhere, and then it turns into a neighborhood, wtf
