and yes ... Piggott Range Rd is the most beautiful shoulder I've ever ridden.
Ride up Bains Rd first which is an equally nice piece of bitumen.

Pages Flat Rd without question - riding from Victor Rd end to Myponga Rd end
... then turn right and make the small incline out of Myponga before hitting the gas all the way down South Rd/Sellicks Hill.
I'm smiling now just thinking of that stretch.

For all those that enjoy Aldgate Valley Road, Check out the similar grade and scenery along the Sturt Valley Road down to Ironbank- where it offers you a couple of climbs, but it's beautiful country.
Yes, Range Road is scenic, although there's often a lot of gum tree debris on the road. I managed a miraculous high speed bunny-hop to avoid a large branch yesterday. Then the descent down Penny's Hill is a cracker.

Bull Creek road - down south - on the way from Meadows, to Victor. A great glide downhill, from the ridge.
AND
Lobethal Road, from Ashton as far as Lenswood - nice winding road; challenging hills; and lots of roadside fruit.

Also to be fair - South Road, south of Dawes Road to Flinders is not bad for an arterial road. If you have to go those places. Cycle lane, and broad lanes so the cars dont get too close. Other parts, and other directions, though....

Deviation Rd, no traffic, good climb south to north, evil climb north to south, peaceful and some of the best views in the Adelaide Hills.
Took Michael W and Matthew P there today.
