This morning at Le Regage (north east of Marseille).
On the horizon is the montagne Sainte-Victoire.

Aaah, Cezanne's great muse

Lysefjord, Norway
0-900m climb

All the way down by Stavanger. Beautiful place.

what a view... but the road seems to disappear near the bottom of the climb!

"Lysefjord, Norway 0-900m climb."

...over what distance, any idea? Looks fantastic, would love to go there.

No idea, got it from Tumblr, thinking of going to Norway for a weekend jaunt.

Can't drive thought.

Plenty of coach trips to the main spots. Coach holidays though......blah.

Smallfurry's link seems to confirm this... does it disappear off into a tunnel?

Check the Google maps link I've posted, it does go into a tunnel.

Awesome looking tunnel thought;

If this thread continues I might have to find the money to take two gap years instead of one

Me too. Taking a 1 year career break from March next year, just to cycle as many of these exciting roads as I possibly can.

Lauterbrunnen Valley nr Interlaken, Switzerland. There is a road up via Wengen then single track off-road to the Eiger Glacier / Kleine Scheidegg, its epic and climbs to over 2000m, part of the Jungfrau Mountain Marathon, my legs were screaming for me to quit running in 2006.

They fecking love tunnels up here.

The roads are too narrow, and built with such poor foundations that they start collapsing after a few winters. But spending time and money drilling through a fecking mountain. Yes, thats doable.

Makes doing uber distance on a road bike tricky. You're not supposed to cycle through the long ones.

Don't ask me why but I've just spent 15 minutes looking at that entire road on street view. That tunnel is terrifying
