This thing is great. Unfortunately I already knew about all the Va ones, and most of the MD ones I haven't tried are kinda far. It didn't have my favorite DC road on it though.

Regardless badass find man.

If it didn't have it ADD IT! lol Post up on your local riders forum and maybe some hidden gems will turn up. I'm going to use this to plan my spring trip. I found it while doing a little google research on the triple nickel (OH 555)

edit: My only complain, and something I may email them about is the rating system. I like the way it is now but it should also have a 5 star rating system IMO

I checked it out, JP. Pretty cool.
In fact, one of the roads I was gonna submit is already listed. (SR233) I ride it all the time, and took my buddy up and down it on his 636 a few weeks ago. He agreed it's a good one.

I think it would be helpful to have a more in-depth star rating system like you suggested, though. Traffic and road surface quality would be great. One of the biggest reasons I take people on 233 is because of the low traffic and almost perfect surface.
It kinda sucks you have to submit emails for all the road suggestions and comments, too. I think people would post a lot more if it was a registration/open rate and comment setup. But I guess it's always easy to sit here and say that a certain system would be better when you don't have to run it.

South central. Not far from Hagerstown, MD actually. Maybe 5 miles north of the MD border.
