Default Lutz and NW Hillsborough County

Personaly I love driving Van Dyke Rd, east of Dale Mabry. Great S Curves around the lake, then if you make a right onto Simmons and sinclaire hills you have more curves. Make a left and babam more curves as well, as you wind around some lakes.

For good banked curves, there are some just north of Van Dyke on Gunn Hwy.

Another good choice is Lutz Lake Fern Rd, east of Dale Mabry.

same here, going to NPR at least 3-4 times a week, I generally will go straight up Gunn Hwy if its late, since with no traffic you can go 70-80 the whole way, otherwise I'll go Patterson or BoyScout Rd... those are alot of fun... I cant wait for a little warmer weather so I can take my bike and not freeze...

There are some REALLY nice roads out in Baseball city area, I thinks its haynes city or something. If you get off the highway and make a left and just search around there are hilly roads with great cruves and everything thing, once I feel I have enough skill ill be sure to head back there.

I went on a Porsche "spirited" drive through this area...

575 is a fun road - highly recommended, especially early on a weekend day.

The best curvy rd's in my opinion are in the rural parts of riverview...
Very true. There's no one on those roads. I love going fast down the roads, especially on bikes.

I have an old video of me on Crawley Road in Odessa which is a LOT of fun at night (longer straights) but too much chance for cars in the day. It runs from Tarpon Springs Rd. to Boy Scout Rd. and there is Whitaker Rd. (I think that's it, it's been a while since I have had a car to take the twisties) in Lutz from Hanna to 41.
