Saxmundham to Circular route
Turn off the A12 onto to B1119 towards Framlingham. This is a very twisty road with lots of tight corners to start with and opening up a little (getting faster) towards Framlingham. From Fram take the B1116 towards Dennington. Beware of the sharp 90 degree bends but enjoy the hump back bridge ! At Dennington go straight across the staggered junction (over the A1120 - also a good road) and continue on the B1116 this section is a little bumpy for bikes of a nervous disposition. After 3-4 miles turn right towards Halesworth on the B1117. This road is great fun, especially the section around Heveningham Hall. The villages around here will make you think your bike is a time machine but beware of tractors, horses and various crap on the road, some of the junctions can be a bit gravelly. Halesworth is a bit dull so just pass straight through and make your way to the A12 at Blythburgh. Turn south and then Turn left immediatly after the White Hart pub (B1125). Follow this road all the way down to Leiston. From here you can either turn left towards Saxmundham and back to where you started or pass through and go to Thorpeness and its Biker friendly tea shops. Alternatively head further south past Snape Maltings and have some fun on the roads around Tunstall and Rendlesham Forests. Be warned, all the villages in Suffolk have 30mph limits and lots of places for the Police to hide, so knock it off when passing through.

Henlow to Hockliffe (On the A5)
Very nice road with a good surface for 99% of the time. Mostly wide open corners which can be taken at 80+ but a few that might catch you out. Some towns/villages to go through - so respect the speed limits and don't piss people off. If you don't want to do the whole lot, you can go as far as the Clophill roundabout on the A6 then come back. You can also come off the A507 onto the A5120 through Flitwick and onto Houghton Regis. Another nice piece of road.

Stone to Nantwich
This is a great road in either direction. it's one of my summer favourites, due mainly to the fact that it is easily accessible from where I live. If you go from the Stone end you have many options as you travel along. You can cut along the A53 towards Shrewsbury and then pick up the A41 or A5 or go further up and your almost into Wales. I have only rarely seen any police activity. Enjoy.
