Good local roads

what are some good local roads that you guys ride on. Also i would like to know good places to go camping within 2 hours of mobile.

I enjoy riding down 193 to Dauphin Island and come back on bellingrath. It's a very nice ride. As far as camping we go to Chickasabogue Park off of Aldock Rd. It's about the nicest place for primitive camping, that I know of.

Blakely park off of 225 north of Spanish Fort is good for primitive camping as well.And it's a Civil War historical site.

+1 for Blakely

ya i like Chickasabogue they have cheap kayak and canoe rentals but i've never camped there . and 193 to the island is a good one. I've need meaning to go to Blakely

I haven't camped at Blakeley but I've trailered my horses up there and ridden all through the place. I think you'd like it.

how about any good rides north of mobile . every time I go north i take 65 , i might feel like im missing out

31 north is a good ride.

Definitely!!!

i went up 31 about a year ago and it was a gorgeous ride, even if a bit cool on the way back

I like to take 31 to atmore and then hit 29 and go back through p'cola and then 90 back to mobile.

I have taken 59 up to stockton then down 225 to spanish fort up 31 to stapleton and then back down 59 to loxley. That is a nice ride too.

i miss fort morgan rd.you know the way it was before they changed it.and i miss 181..you know before it got so busy that you cant injoy the ride.

What got changed on Ft Morgan road? I haven't been down there in 15 yrs or so.

they changed the road those really nice sharp corners that were on fort morgan rd are gone

The corners are gone! What about the rolling sensation on the road? Is that flat and smooth now too. Bummer... I'm determined I'm going to ride tomorrow. Wish I had someone who could come along. The more, the merrier.

I've always wanted to ride as far as Montgomery on hwy 31. It's such a beautiful ride but it's been...decades....since I've riden through there.

I live on 31 outside Prattville and that izza good ride on 31 .. One day I'm gonna ride 31 into Indiana . It more or less follows 65 all the way from south to north ..

43 izza another good ride for you peeps down there
