Road Porn

Wasnt that in the hobbit? some sort of orc road to mordor?

I ride in SF every day at the moment. The city is on a grid system - it can be a frustration of red lights at every corner. Just over the Golden Gate Bridge however, lies a cyclist wonderland. The winding road here is an 18% grade one-way road downhill. Own the road and let go of the brakes! Hella fun! :)

I spent six months on secondment is SF in 2008. Cycled around Marin County every weekend. It was and is the best riding of my life

Somebody please tell me where that is!

Using search by image on Google (click the camera icon next to the search box on the images tab) it appears to be somewhere in Switzerland.

See http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Switzerland-Mountain-Biking-2012-edition-Part-4.html where it's mentioned about halfway down. It's a hiking trail and bikes are forbidden. I think this might be it http://goo.gl/maps/i0Xgq.

Über road porn wherever it is!

I hope this qualitfies. This is a photo a took a few years ago of this huge hill decline. The photo doesn't show its true decent as it is actually pretty big and long;

Look like every single straight road in France TBH.

Is that out the back of Letchworth into Hitchin?

The Quiraing, Isle of Skye
possibly the most beautiful place on the earth

Is that out the back of Letchworth into Hitchin?

It is mate

Used to bomb that on my derestricted moped, then go to halfords and do wheelies.

Oh to be 16.

Somewhere in the Vercors?

North Spain on our way down to a town called campo near Benasque

Not as nice as the others, but i love riding this road

That looks like the road between Kenilworth and Leek Wooten?
