Thinking of doing something this summer, don' t mind where, for a couple of nights due to time limitations.

Any ideas? Anywhere with good road riding and near enough for a 2 night trip is a possibility.

No way would I have the hassle of flying anywhere with a bike for a 2-nighter.

As above, where are you and where interests you...I'd olnly dfo a couple of hours on the train.

Just for 2 nights, I would choose a classic climb like Ventoux or alpe d'huez.

Ventoux or alpe d'huez are a long way to travel for 2 nights. Do you have access to a car? How much do you want to spend? There are some gorgeous routes around Wales or the Highlands which would be ace for 2 nights. are you touring? You going alone? Need a tad more info for people to help you!

Based in London, so can fly easy, or train also. But sure, UK easiest...
Have car also, would be 2/3 of us.

Chunel to Brussels, drive to Vosges, be there in about the same time it would take to drive to the lake district.
