By way of subscribing, here are a couple of 'readers wives'...

Both Route 1 round the south side of Iceland. Beautiful scenery but frankly they might get a bit monotonous to ride after a while, especially in the wind!!

South side of the Spluga pass, the summit of which is on the Swiss/Italian border.

And the north side. A road worth riding.

These two? doesn't really show it well (Hardknott + Wynose Pass)

Thread ended. Fucking incredible.

Say what you want about the rider, the bike choice whatever.
Jut look at the roads.

Road to Chamonix, this bridge is ace. pan about...

Wowee that does look great.

This will be familiar to some, when you get here for the last time you know things can only get better

Unless you're riding 100, in which case there is plenty of pain still to come.

^ Any info about the asphalt texture amalgam etc?

This is great.

More cycling threads, less bike threads.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to marcom again

He's had some brilliant road photography on his blog.

Ha!

Just popped up on Facebook. "The mountains and winding road in Mount Tianmen, National Forest Park in western Hunan province of China"

I so very badly need to get out of town. >_<

Loving this thread too, inspiration to do something I already love, can't go wrong!

Was thinking of cycling the Thames from outlet to source this summer, but after doing some research found out most of it isn't cycle friendly apparently, now thinking of doing the Grand Union Canal from near(ish) my place up to Nottingham, not a road, but will try and get some of the more beautiful sights photo'd.

^^ Stunning... think I need to get out of the UK too!

Cycling over the estuaries in Holland is pretty rad - water either side

the Black Mountain i was on about, not breacon beacons

The Thames Path more or less runs along the banks all the way from end to end but that certainly isn't cycle friendly. At one point or other I've covered all of that route (running) from Richmond to Lechlade and most of it is just mud track through fields along river banks with plenty of styles/gates etc. That said, although there isn't a dedicated cycle route, I'm sure you could find and follow a very lovely succession of country lanes that took you the entire way. Many of the towns and villages en route are very picturesque indeed :-)

Was thinking about doing IMKalmar but the thought of riding a cumulative 24km on a bridge over the Baltic seemed a lot like purgatory to me.

Another road pretty local to me .

Where is that? Lofoten islands?

Where is that? Lofoten islands?

No. Although thats one place I have yet to get to.

Its the altanterhavsveien, just south of Kristiansund.
