There are some good roads around there mate, try around saddlworth moors (where the murders took place) and also the peak district isn't too far away, some cracking roads around there and tend to be wel surfaced.
But you're right... not like our devon roads

Tis a nice one, though gets very busy. There are even better roads around mid devon and the south hams.

True, i think i know which 1 you mean coming back from near Paignton Zoo theres that long twisty road and you comeout at East Ogwell thats another nice run, the only thing with the Shaldon to Torquay run is near the very start of the run them twisty bends you get some right d***s flyin round um, but after youve cleared that your basically safe, its nice to sit at Labradore bay for like an hour and just like look out too sea then get back on ya bike and finish the run
