Default Best places in SA for some "spirited driving" ?

So I am not from here and haven't really been here long enough to know all the good spots. Anyone have some good places that have low cop pop, low traffic and some good curvy roads where I can go get some recreational driving? Guess this is best learned word of mouth, but I figured I would ask anyway for S&G's. I'll take PM's if you dont wanna give up your good spots to general public lol

Well I didnt think I would get much, but I have to admit I expected at least a few "F off noob" flames.

there's not many good roads in town.

the one I usually open up on is the east portion of wurzbach parkway. speed limit is 60mph, so it gives you something to work with... nice turns, low traffic... occasional cops during shift switches, but not too many in between. and plenty of chances to exit->turn around, so you can make the road as long or short as you'd like....

evans road is alright, too, but it's only 2-lane with lots of bicycles on it during the day; deer at night.

281 north-bound from downtown is fun, too...

San Antonio = meh. You have to go up to Austin or west out into the Hill Country to get into anything fun/spirited.

Thats what I figured, I havnt noticed any good areas around here, most things are very straight, high traffic and patrolled, maybe when I get some time ill head to austin. I will keep an eye out for meets up there.

There are plenty of great roads around around San Antonio, non inside the the city but once you go out north on 281 and HWY 16 there are a lot of nice backroads.

I'll share some at the pool night. We should plan a quick morning cruise.
