Can't believe AZ US 191 didn't make the top 100, or maybe I missed it. I have rode the top 6 listed, and though they are good roads to ride, none of them are in my top five.

Hello,
I'm Nomad2324 from Alabama. My road name tells you I've been around, and I'm still knocking them off the Top 100 List. Most are great roads to ride some of my favorites are not on this list. But I have highlighted, on the expanded list above, the Roads I've ridden so far. I will ride the ones in Utah and Arizona this year during a week in July. Here's where I stand so far. By the way, I too am a Texas kid searching for Twisty and Scenic roads to ride. Ride on my friends!

Wow...I can't believe I missed this thread all those years ago! Thanks for reviving it, and welcome to the site!

Looking over that list I am amazed at how many I've actually ridden, 34 for sure with a few others I think I rode but just can't remember for sure. I just never really thought about it before. Still, some of my favorites are not on that list and I'd love for them to stay that way for a long time :trust: Still, it is nice to see a list like this every now and then just for getting ideas for future rides.
 
HW 129 - aka "tail of the dragon" is vastly overrated.
The entire list is in question as far as I'm concerned for including it.
I lived in Chattanooga and would run it only if some visiting friends wanted to or I had a hankering for the bratwurst at Deals Gap. (really good brats)
There are a few other rides in that area that are much more interesting.
Devils' Triangle is one. https://devilstriangletn.com/
