• If Bjorn couldn't use the 66 is Skinny not going to find it the same?

    I'm guessing the 66 is ok, it's just you couldn't get to it from where Bjorn was without using the R1 which probably wasn't ok.

    [EDIT] Well, he might if he'd just gone a bit further into that industrial estate and took what looks like a dusty track to the road next to the river, then he would have got to the road just south of Salkova. Assuming that it's not closed off somewhere or signposted to look private. And almost certainly not the gamble you'd want to have to try unresearched when tired/etc.

    That's right. I've ridden the exact route that Bjorn was trying to do.
    I think we debated what to do for a while, then I persuaded my wife that we could brave about half a mile of motorway, and it was fine.
    After that the 66 is a lovely fast road, then a pleasant climb up a valley to an alpine col with a pub at the top!
    Bjorn being super-obedient of the rules in changing his route.

    Looking at Google Maps, it seems he's completely changed his route to avoid the tiniest bit of motorway. Would it really have mattered?
