Potholes

Cornwall cycling routes

Road surface on my usual route is less than bike friendly with many, many potholes covering entire roads which gave me some heart pangs yesterday as I hit one at speed (no damage done) so my question is...Cornwall cycling, best roads to go on esp around falmouth area? What are your favorite routes to go on etc?

I'll start with the Lizard - the roads are brilliant out that way very few serious potholes and little traffic make for some enjoyable riding. Just a shame that to get there you have to go through bike hell. (Falmouth-Gweek)
