You get all the nice roads...

...and all the shit weather.

Thats like 80km from me or something. Sognefjord - Førde

Its nice today, the only nice day forecast, and Mrs Smallfurry is off fishing, so I have to stay in. Bought a Cycllefilm alpine ride vid for the turbo. Not quite the same though.

So many roads in West of Ireland that I've driven but need to cycle - leenane to Kilary

wow!

Woahhhh... Where^?

Stelvio pass taken by someone who can't hold a camera straight?

Looks like they are hanging over the edge on one of the upper hairpins. It's a long way down from there.

Not nearly in the same league as the photographs above, but I was cycling through the lanes on the North Downs yesterday and it really is quietly beautiful around there.

Added benefit is that they're 20 minutes from my front door of course.

Anyway- SmallFurry, surely you should have installed your sprogs on the cargo bike and gone out, that would have been great exercise.

They'd be asleep. As it was past their bedime.

Still some clever use of ducttape. And I could just make that doable.

I did take them to the Aquarium on the cargo bike, during their hols. 10km away, and involving some serious hills. Near killed me.

indeed.

Even with the correct alignment, it's still an impressive road.

This road looks incredible, whether or not you could cycle it is another question...

Last 3 posts are fantastic.

The one in Norway looks like it would be hella' windy!

I live 9 km from this road. 12km of an average of 9.8%, steepest gradient somewhere over 20%. We've lived here 2 years and to my shame I have only ridden up it 6 times. Just too hard.
