  • Great thread. Just found myself going through my phone for an hour or so trying to narrow down my top five... Hard! And not certain these are the top but... In no particular order:

    1. Corrieyairack Pass / Sept 2019 - This was my 33rd birthday and I'd started the day having a poo in a hole. Absolutely brilliant day.
    2. Snowdonia / August 2019 - Typical Welsh weather and ended up on this pass in a storm. Was so windy PastryBot got blown off his bike.
    3. Elan Valley / May 2017 - Spent a week cycling from the top of Anglesey to Bristol and the weather was like this the entire time. Favourite week on a bike ever.
    4. Gospel Pass / May 2017 - Same trip as above.
    5. Strada dell'Assietta / June 2018 - We tried to follow the Torino Nice Rally route in early June which in theory should be fine but it had been an exceptionally long snow season... The peak was somewhere around this corner but as we climbed the weather came in after a long sunny day. We were surrounded be crashes and cracks we assumed were thunder to begin with but realised were avalanche. Hot tailed back down as the pass began to turn into a stream from snow melt.
