This is quite remote - Being dropped off at Warner lake to ride back to a heliskiing lodge in the middle of a national park in BC Canada. The guide / ranger said to his knowledge there were no other people in the park at the moment (no roads in or out of the area, so he tends to know) - which meant it was us, grizzly bears and 1600sq miles of wilderness.

Remote can mean a few things - these are from villages in the Atlas mountains multiple days from the nearest big town so remote to me, but it's still someone's back yard:

Can never get these to work via my cell phone
Some of those posts that aren't working, some are from Google Photos and Google changed their system recently so that you can no longer embed your photos using a link to it. Has annoyed a lot of people.
all working for me, but i am on a chromebook thing
ton, brilliant thread !
Ewan,when was that BC trip? My dad used to run the horse trails at Tyax. I did one of the big rides there with the mtb guide, Cliff.

Somewhere in the middle of Wales, on the BearBones 200 2014
Not sure if it classes as remote if you can see it from the M6, but Great Dunn Fell radar station in a blizzard isn't particularly comfortable.
Bolts Law. Rideable from home, but bleak as a bleak place (on a bad day)
Port Scolpaig, North Uist 4 years ago:
Cairngorms. Before bikepacking became a "thing"
Cloudy bay, Bruny Island, Tasmania. Next stop - Antarctica.

near the top of Pico de la Neves, Gran Canaria, on an dormant/extinct volcano. going down the "wrong" side.... ~2000m up. riding a thick layer of lava stones is a lot like riding on snow.

My bivy spot at sunrise on the summit of [url= http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/munros/a-mhaighdean ]A Mhaighdean[/url] in Fisherfield a few weeks ago 🙂
Said to be the most remote Munro as well as the best wild campping spot in the UK (how is that measured???)
I though I should test the truth in those statements, I'd tend to agree. Perfect weather, no midgies. Stunningly good couple of days out.

The wee rainbow appeared with perfect timing!
Kenta Gallagher chasing his dream! Good things to come for him next season!
Cracking pic Kbrembo, good timing with the rainbow 🙂 Annat slabs?
Yeah Bedmaker....timing was a 30 second window!
Cracking shot yerself BTW
Great thread. I need to go to Scotland again. That is a fab shot, Bedmaker. That must have been amazing.

A very good friend patiently waiting with good humour as I beat my bike back into shape with a rock. It wasn't very remote at the summit of the Glen Finglas loop, but it suddenly felt like it when my bike got all stroppy!

Thanks for this thread! I've been more off than on my bike the last couple of because of bad injuries. This little sift through photo bucket has brought back a whole bunch of really good memories. Must have a look through the stuff stored on my camera and my computer at home now! 🙂
this location is pretty out there. it takes a bit of effort to reach.
any idea's anyone?

Western Isles methinks, Jura or Colonsay ?
warm Iain.
🙂 I have been in that bay, sailing, but can't quite place it, it does look very much like west side of Jura/Colonsay/Oronsay so I'll wait and see what others reckon !
Another Iceland shot:
We had just seen our first car for two hours as we turned on to this track and wouldn't see anyone else for another three when we got back to tarmac. We'd no idea if this track actually existed or was even rideable, turned out to be lots of "wow! Look at that!"
