Good Cruise Roads??
def. skyline drive, and route 301 up to fredricksburg is an amazing cruise, i drive 301 up to caroline county all the time to get my gf and i just want to keep going and going, its pretty nice, and smooth
My personal favorite around here is...
In the East End by the Nabisco factory. Miller Road is the road. The fun stretch is in between Charles City Road and Seven Hills Blvd.
It's an industrial road and most traffic is people that work there or trucks that come in and out of there. I only recommend taking it fast at night so you can see what's coming on the other side. There are some REALLY sharp turns in there. I believe 2 of them have 15mph signs, I can take them at about 45-50 without even going into other lane. It's only about 1/2 mile of turns, but IMO they are the best that I've found without having to drive a shitload of miles.
I grew up in KW and those roads are pretty good. My favorite out there is the S curve in Enfield Road (only when the field is plowed, lol).
I'll have to check out some of those in Chesterfield. Only thing I hate about flying through backroads is that I'm usually doing at least 20mph over when I'm having fun
EDIT: This is kind of different, but I LOVE this cruise....
I'll head to the city from Varina area. I take 64W until I get to 95, then go south. Then I take the Downtown Express Way (2 exits after you get onto 95S). There is a NICE sharp curve as soon as you get onto the DEW, and then you go under a bridge for 100 yards (all of this is suspended 100 feet above downtown Richmond). After that you are in the open for another 100 yards, then you go under 2 tunnels/overpasses. You can floor it under the bridge and in the tunnels, it gets loud as fuck. Then you come through a toll (where I sometimes may launch it) and go through a few fairly sharp turns. Then I'll usually ride till the end of the Expressway and turn around and do it again
It's a pretty fun route with a few sharp turns and you can go through the tunnels flooring it. But beware there are sometimes cops in the median and the speed limit on the entire DEW is only 55mph, so it's pretty easy to be reckless. BTW the curves getting onto and off of the DEW onto and off of 95 have no room for error. Both of those curves are suspended over downtown. The only thing keeping you from going over the side is a concrete barrier, so I'm sure if you were to hit it hard enough you could go over or through it.

I thought I'd be a good patron and do research before I post up any unnecessary new threads 
I have a few roads I love taking from time to time, esp. with a car that handles!
Snake Road near Chester and Enon, about 1 1/2 - 2 miles of really challenging twists and turns on a nice and smooth road. It's best to take the road at night to see any oncoming traffic. Reason being, near the middle, there is a one lane bridge, only room for one car to pass usually. Otherwise, super fun and personal fav. since it's only 5 min from my house.

yeah ive been down snake road once or twice, but not fast at all, some guy said he was doing 95 down that road, i was like, I call BULLSHIT!!! and i hear that if you stop on the bridge, honk your horn 5 times, your car starts to shut off and act crazy then you see some lady come out of the water next to the bridge

Is that Snake Road? It took me a while to find it and it looks like it's not actually on google maps, but someone put those markers up to signify where it is.
