Best places you've ever cycled

For me it has to be North Yorkshire................during summer months, when I was a yoof, but nowadays it has to be N Lincolnshire as its flat and has some lovely villages to stop and have a cuppa or brew in, and my legs wont do big hills anymore

When I lived in the UK, I loved cycling in the Yorkshire Dales

Just like this I shot last July:

That's bonkers ! What was the top speed ? The top speed may answer my next question . Why didn't you get on the drops ?
So far my best ride has been in the Surrey hills . Just beautiful .

Just like this I shot last July:

Correction . You did hit the drops near the end and your Garmin beeped telling you to slow down

Top speed was about 75kph. There was no need to really get the drops as you don't really need to brake and it wasn't a race (plus I was not overly familiar with the road so didn't want to push it).

Thanks for that , Im 100% with you on taking it cautious when you don't know the road . Although you do double my cautious speed

Colorado in the hills around Crested Bute.

I live in the Western Isles - it can be really crap, but on a good day I ca't think of anywhere I'd rather be.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

The Scottish Islands without a shadow of a doubt!

Also my local cycletracks, I can really speed along a lot of those! Pat 5MPH will back me up on that!
Its just a pity they can't continue the same great surface when on the canalside routes (drainage, I get it)

Wasdale this evening wasn't at all bad either

 

[Wooliferkins]

It can be just where you are on the day. I think Oman takes it.

Last May I rode around the five boro's of New York City, on closed roads with 36000 other cyclists. So far that has been the best place I've ever cycled, the most fun I've had on a bike and the best organised event.

The Golan Heights overlooking the Sea of Galilee.
A Geordie lass I was with at the time (a long time ago when I was single, footloose and fancy free!) & I borrowed a couple of BSO's with rear hub brakes and ascended the Golan. We hitched a lift on a tractor and trailer for the last bit, but the descent back the the Galilee was memorable for many reasons.......
I wonder if I still have any pics of it.. Hmmmmm, must check.

Victorian Alps. Although it's a bit time-consuming to get there, it's worth the trip.

This is near the summit of Mt Hotham, which peaks at 1,800m.
