Slo Poke is right, what we call riding are roads like Deals Gap (318 turns 11 miles), Wolf Pen Gap (371 turns in 37 miles), etc.

If you want to ride roads with turns in it, look for a "slow" ride that introduces you to some of the roads up north. Be wary of "moderate" rides as they are almost never "moderate."

yes because everybody doesn't want to just ride to have nice view sceneries every now and then but if they're going to "ride" they better be dragging knees on every intersection and scraping 12oclock at every stop light with the limiter bouncing.

I agree,

My 1st N.Run was suppose to "moderate" when I realize everyone was booking. I kept myself the last guy since I was a little weary about my turns and not knowing the road to well.

5:30 last night I was painting on the gas tank of the bike...so no riding for me. I have to get a bearing put in my hub, then i will be ready to rock some corners. I may go on a "slow moderate" run sunday if all works out.

i really wasnt trying to offend you brother....i mean, once you get out in the rural areas on the rural roads, the scenery is much better, traffic is lighter and the roads are definately more fun...i hate to keep recommending this to peeps, but try TSB, the have slow rides that will show you the good routes and get you used to the roads...they go North, South and East.....
