Hwy 36 south from 7 (east of Sharbot Lake, near Maberly) down towards Westport - a good 15-20 mins of trafficless twisties and hills.

Also hwy 511 up to Calabogie, what a great road, and newly paved! Scenery is nice too, if you're into that kinda thing.

I grew up out through my teens. The Forks road can be dangerous due to people, bikes and tuned cars zipping through.

The other two that seem to be as dangerous are Mississauga below Dundas and Trafalger North of th 401.

Every few years someone is wrecked or worse on those stretches.

I drove between the speed limit because I wanted to enjoy the view, I drove it in bothways and haven´t seen any cop, and traffic, only saw 3/4 cars.

Col de Turini… I'd move to Nice just to drive it.. often. I only drove it once and at that in a Renault 5 and even then wondered how the guys in 911's liked it. We were passed several times by those.

US 33 over the mountains, wicked elevation changes and turn after turn after turn.

And the BRP from Waynesborrow down through Fancy Gap.

Doing that run again in June.

Any of the ultra twisty, ultra narrow back roads in Northern Italy. Corsica as well.

A nice Sunday morning run is the back way to Peggy's Cove.
Very twisty, and some great scenery.
Start at the Armdale Rotary in Halifax, head to Peggy's Cove, visit and have a nice bite to eat, then either head back the way you came, or continue on through Glen Margaret and Seabright to the 103 to get back to Halifax, or turn left and head further down the coast on the #3.

Used to ride that loop with bicycles plus cycling club out of bedford. Gorgeous and unforgettable Sunday mornings. Enjoy, and give extra space to your spandexed brothers and sisters

Look forward to racking up many KMs along this stretch of road come spring as it's right in my own back yard. After 10 yrs in Toronto I moved the family back home to NS to be closer to our extended family. At least that's what I tell them -- deep down it's all because of the roads

One day I want to do that trip in a 911.

I haven't had the opportunity to take the 911 back home to NS since I got it, but I REALLY want to.
