Where do you cycle??

[snorri]

As sad as it may be I have mapped out all the roads I have cycled on.

Sad? That's pathetic reiver, I think I'll start to do the same myself.

 

[coffeejo]

Generally on routes that accidentally take me past these coffee stops around Somerset

 

[biggs682]

mainly around wellingborough , and try to keep of main roads as much as poss .

 

[madpensioner]

all over the world

 

[leyburnrunner]

the cruel hills around swaledale and wensleydale.

Live in Gloucester, rides are max of 4 hours for me so far, so can take me to Ledbury, Ross on Wye, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Forest of Dean, Stroud, ............not all on the same ride though

 

[JonnyBlade]

Hampshire for me. The Meon valley is just up the road with it's super hills. Oh how I miss my birth town of Sheffield

In 4 weeks I'll be venturing further a field when I cycle to Newcastle and back

I seem to instinctively head south from Warrington, maybe because this is where I started extending my journey length so it seems logical to keep widening the same essential loop!

Stu

You need to head north around Rivington.

 

[cycleruk]

If i am just doing training runs then i use roads in and around Oundle (villages), sometimes i go through Thrapston, Corby peterborough and even as far as market deeping!

 

[pally83]

Usually around Preston / Leyland but try to get to Beacon Fell and Trough of Bowland for longer rides.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I commute between Melbourne and Parkdale (a 28km route) via the beach roads, a very pleasant commute in general. My preferred weekend destinations are typically the mountain ones: Dandenongs, Kinglake, and the higher (but farther) ones.

Yes, sorry, not exactly mentioning UK locations here, but I thought I'd add something different to this thread. Some of you may even recognise the above place-names!

I live on the edge of the Cévennes National Park so lots and lots of hills, possible to head towards Montpelier and the coast though for flatter runs.

Love it! Especially 'Curry Mallet Post Office'!
While on a site visit (for work) the other day, we had lunch at a place near Garstang (north of Preston, Lancs) that does enormous cakes. The things look like Pop Art i.e. unreal and not to a conventional scale. Think we might swing by there again.

To answer the OP, all around Preston really. Although I am very fond of the Eden Valley too.

Birmingham.
Urgh.
My short routes take me around the city (Bournville / Stirchley / Kings Heath / Moseley) way, avoiding the main roads as much as possible. Or I go through the back roads to Sollihull and back, or up to Blackheath or Clent. Being in the conurbation that is the 'West Midlands' generally equals busy roads wherever you go so it's a bit of a pain.
On longer rides i get out of the city and head down into Warwickshire - about 6 ish miles out you hit the lovely country roads and lanes and nice little towns and villages like Henley in Arden and Dorridge.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

One of my favourite routes (on road) is from my home outside of Aberdare to Brecon or Builth Wells and back.
