Favorite road for spirited driving around Philly

If anybody has a favorite road for spirited driving within 30 mi radius around Philly please post it. I would like to find 5+ roads to take a nice scenic ride on a sunny day when the time allows.

The following info would be nice:
1. Approx length
2. Surface quality rating (1-10, 10=perfect, 1=1-2" bumps and/or holes)
3. Max speed allowed


Thanks

Not sure if the link works - hit me up if it doesn't, the drive is very fun, as long as you don't get stuck behind granma or soccerma. Much better outcomes on weekday nights than on weekends but definately worth experience. Lots of windy roads and nice scenery. It's 47 miles but sometimes I only take one section back and forth (swamp or river rds are cool), it'll take you less than an hour minutes spirited. Pavement is mostly very good with minor bumps (train tracks)and speed limits vary and visibility is great (not so much on river road at night but that part of the fun).

This looks great.

I have friends in Richboro, Tanyard Rd. area, and am always enjoying the back roads up there. Now my visits will be shorter :-)

Thanks!
