So what/where are your curviest roads? I would limit this to roads not off road trails.
The one that comes to mind for me is the road going to Mt. Nebo here in Arkansas. It is close to me across the Arkansas River. There is a state park on top. Rt 155 leads up to the park. Trailers are limited to less than 24 ft, the grade is 18% in places, and several curves are posted at 10 MPH. There are gouges in the road made by trailer hitches dragging while negotiating the tight switchbacks with the steep grade. The uphill part is only about 3 miles. This is Arkansas, the top elevation is only1350 ft, but it sure uses some curves to get there. Not a place to get in a hurry. If you meet someone they may not be in their lane as they negotiate the curves.
I have been on it on a bicycle with rubber caliper brakes on the rims (no disc brakes). I was careful to not get too much speed coming down so the brakes would not overheat and melt or something.
Here are a couple pics from the top on a cloudy day. It sprinkled rained on me on the way down.
