| Me and some friends wanna go for a cruise tomorrow with it being 21 degree's and all. We were thinking like whiterock or something, but its gunna be BUSY. Does anyone know some nice back roads that are good for cruising? Preferrably to somewhere with a restuarant, good photo ops, scenery etc.. |

| Hmm good website, but those look a little on the longer side. Im looking for something with long, twisty backroads that will eventually end up in even a small down with atleast a gas station and restuarant. Most of those runs are like full day runs, im not looking for a 12hour drive lol :P Nice views are a must too :) |

I will have to look it up when we get back to Canada, however there is a really, nasty, twisty road in Abbotsford. It was nicknamed the "Test Track" because there are several signs that just say 30kph and show a squiggly line. Our club has made the run up and down it a few times. There are banked corners and all. It is just above Sumas Mountain Road near the Castle Fun Park. I think we even have a few video's of the club as a group running the road. If you are in a V6 5spd car, you will be lucky to hit 3rd gear. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

You are probably going to need to save and enlarge the map to see the road. I tried to put a red line that sorta follows the road we use to run. Beware that parts of the road were logging roads and frequently had mud or gravel scattered on the corners, which can lead to the back end of the car coming out in a violent drift. Zander aka Red Dragon learned that one on a run. He did not wipe out, but I think he had to clean his shorts at some point.
