What are the twisties? The twisties are any stretch of road with a sustained run of curves — the part of the map riders plan whole days around. The word is about the road, not the speed: a rider can enjoy the twisties well within the limit, and the roads that get named as good ones are usually praised for rhythm and surface rather than for how fast they can be taken. Route guides here describe the curve character so you know what you are getting into.
