it wasn't like that when we went up... Visibility must have been 50m!

Col de Soller, Majorca. Nice.

fun hill too, descent on the other side can get proper greasy tho

Wasn't too bad yesterday - today's route means we're doing it in the other direction to start off the day.

If there's Road Anti-Porn, it'll be this;

More road porn from Mallorca - even if the road surface is, in fact, appalling.

Some pictures of Orduña, my favourite local mountain pass.

Even more Mallorca - Sa Calobra, and not the 270 degree switchback...

nice pics!

The gradient pic reminds me of this in the North York Moors:

Descent 25% and ascent 33%?

That's it! We were driving at the time, unfortunately, and not on my bike. Or maybe that's fortunately. It's here:

Can anyone advise where is best to fly too/stay if doing a norwegian cycling trip?

Do the west coast.

Trondheim -> Bergen

That way you can include atlantahavsveien.

Olden.

Plus both are awesome cities. I'm bang in the middle in Aalesund. Which is a great location for riding these attractions.

that place..

That'd be Sa Calobra. Nice climb. Nice pic too.

Just found this from my holiday last summer... it was a bikes only road:

Where is this place?

And secondly, where did you get that awesome purple panniers?

The place is somewhere on the Dutch coast between Amsterdam and The Hague... I think around Katwijk / Noordwijk.
On the other side of the ridge to the left is the coast.

The Panniers are old-school Karrimor ones from ebay. They rule.

Netherlands, near the coast?

edit ah, guessed it ;-)
