The first part of a series of videos exploring the roads of Devon and Cornwall to determine which county has the best roads to ride on a motorcycle.

This first episode, as suggested by an old 'Ride' magazine, takes us through Barnstaple and Lynmouth, and ends up in Minehead. That's Somerset and made me quite homesick. So round 1 should be an easy victory for Cornwall. Despite the fact that the ride through Devon was amazing, with everything from hairpins, to miles of twisties and seemingly never ending sweepers, and just flowed almost perfectly, they cheated by including several miles of a northern county, and have been marked down accordingly.

I had a lot of trouble with sound, which is why it's almost turned into a musical. So, if you find music in videos annoying I completely understand, and I do apologise. But it was a long ride and not something I could just nip out and do again. So I've just done the best I could with what I had.

Future episodes should be kept to 10-12 minutes in duration.

Please feel free to suggest roads for me to scrutinise if you're from the area. You are also encouraged to share your favourite ride in the comments. And if you have your own YT channel, please do post a link in the comments to a video of your favourite ride.
