Road Porn

As amazing the scenery is, that look fucking boring.

As amazing the scenery is, that look fucking boring.

So, when faced with the magic of riding a couple of miles out above the crystal-clear ocean in absolutely perfect weather, what do you feel is missing from that moment? Steep hairpins? A conversation about Japanese touring tyres with Grant Petersen? A chance to assume the 'aero' position on a 35kg rando bike?

The fact the thread title isn't crystal-clear ocean porn, it's road porn.

the Tim Healy Pass on the Beara Peninsular in West Cork Ireland.

...that look fucking boring.

It does look better for swimming or sailing than cycling. Or speeding along in a Donzi powerboat pretending your in a Michael Mann film.

just like road across Northern Ireland :D

Gold Hill in Shaftsbury, Wiltshire

Needs moar filters.

(Was that in the ToB two years ago? It was raining? Hmm, maybe not that one. What hill am I thinking of?).

Guildford last year?

Or a Hovis advert?

Constitution Hill in Swansea.

That's the one! I thought it was more built up. Cheers, Andy!

Its the hill from the Hovis ad. Not my pic btw, but I have ridden it a few times.

That'd be gorgeous to cruise down ... Sun on your face, smooth easy rolling tarmac, the sea all around. What's not to like?

As soon as I'm fit for fight, I volunteer to do a forum sponsored investigation and report back.

Crna Gora Republik (Montenegro), Durmitor National Park (UNESCO WHS), just spent my holidays there... flabbergasting.

Honister Pass, from the Guardian -- http://www.theguardian.com/sport/picture/2013/sep/17/picture-of-the-day-tour-of-britain

not bad, bit wet though

Did a bit of cycling in Mallorca over the summer which included Sa Calobra - a spectacular decent (then turn around at the beach and climb back up)

And me just approaching it...

I really really must do Sa Calobra when I'm over there next. That loop bit looks like something from a Scalextric track.

Can thoroughly recommend it.

I've driven down that road, would absolutely love to go there with a bike.
