Coastal road then Mogan to Soria on Gran Canaria by Blazing Saddles

went through here last weekend, absolute bliss in the sun. love those sunken lanes in surrey.

Where's that?

Come on people, if you're going to post a pic at least say where it is!

This please.

^ that's Zafferana – Rifugo Sapienza on Mt. Etna, Sicily (not my photo).

...and my climb of it here. I got good conditions for that ride. Still air and clear and bright, Enta was also very active – rumbling and growling as I climbed. I took my fixed bike but with a different rear wheel. The dinglespeed setup gave me 39x24 up and 44x18 for everything else (with a 28mm rear tyre) that was about right.

nice

I rather liked this spot just round the corner from huez

Whereabouts in Surrey is that?

Looks like Pitch Hill, south of Shere, to me.

I was there a couple of months ago, it was still snowy.

I did se a guy climbing it on a black dolan PC, bullhorns and a front brake. Rep to him.

Sweet. Tips for elsewhere on the island to ride? I'll be going back.

I did the Linguaglossa climb just as fresh snow arrived. It was pretty cold for spring.

There were some really nice hilly routes near Agrigento with a decent road surface for the most part, I wish I could have stayed longer as it's a really lovely island.

+1.

Not yet sure where to visit next time so will bear that in mind. I think Ragusa/Modica will feature.

Also if you're back there during the snowy season here's what met me at the top...

Sorry if repost. Sorry if enormous. Flinders Chase National Park, Kangaroo Island, Australia.

Repost, but no-one knew where from...

Ah, that's why when I searched the thread for the name it didn't come up.

Whereabouts in Surrey is that?

I think that's Coldharbour lane, near Leith Hill.

Might be Sheephouse Lane: http://goo.gl/maps/4ZnEN

Four months until I'm riding around my favourite place in the entire world.

On the Elenith 300 Audax. Irfon valley (I think).

The famous Elenith phone box. Taken on the descent of the Gamallt, it's the last climb before the half way point at Tregaron.

Cwmystwyth. Looking down past the old lead mines towards the Elan Valley.

Don't know where this is, but it's pretty damn nice!
