When I walk around corners, I always late apex them and get hard on the legs from there. Its the fastest way around a sidewalk corner.

Locations blurred to protect the identities of my students, as well as my own, since it would be really obvious where I work otherwise.

I work from home, so I have no commute. But I take this route a couple times a week, so I’ll let it count. It’s a low-speed area since the road is narrow, the corners are mostly blind, and there are sometimes runners and dog-walkers, but there’s a little elevation change and a few nice corners along the way.

That slight curve before the right hander at 60 becomes a corner and its banked properly. The feeling of dipping one wheel into gravel feet from a cliff and then trailbraking through an off camber corner makes this spot shine over the rest of it.

the ONLY this close to being a corner in my whole route. Lee Rd.

I take this road only on days when I’m feeling mighty grumpy and need to put a big grin on my face. It adds at least half an hour to my morning drive, but it does the job every time.

PARKOUR!

Not on my commute but one of my favorite turns, I love taking it at full speed (50 MPH speed limit) without touching the brakes.

Usually there are cars ahead of me that slow down to about 20 MPH to take this loop which frankly is annoying but late at night with no cars ahead of me I love it.

Looks fun!

It is, I love powering out of the turn (I’ve got AWD) and shooting onto the parkway

I could take the route in the center in the morning but that would be pointless. I take this “detour” on my way home. Very curvy for Oklahoma and has hills. It is a great end to my commute, and I take it as much as possible.

When nobody is in front of me, this on-ramp heading south is a joy on my way home. The flow of the curves makes for a very merge onto I-55. I am briefly on there until I get onto 355 South.

That would be the on-ramp that takes you from the QEW in Burlington to highway 403. I like taking it in my Yukon because I can utilize the shoulder to go much faster around the bend, then go full throttle when exiting onto the other road.

That section of highway is quite packed full of on-ramps and off-ramps so sometimes my plan doesn’t work.

I know that bend, but I don’t think I’ve ever driven it myself.

Now I’ll have to.

Just a heads up if you do, it's a rather sharp bend so be prepared. It takes a couple times before you master it.

For how short it is and where I am, my commute’s not bad. There’s a really nice sequence in the first half.

My favorite specific one is this corner. It comes from an off-camber left sweeper into a banked right, and then back into an off-camber left. You don’t even need to hit it quick to feel like a racing god, and the weightlessness you feel as it transitions into the banked right hander is superb. The line made by the Google is obviously not the racing line.

My two favorite turns heading home. First is right as I leave the employee parking lot. Single lane/one way. Lots of room to run off and punch it on exit. Super fun as long as cops aren’t around (airport).

Clear visibility through the corner allows me to have fun here every now and then.
