[Closed] A view from the hill

Overbiked. 😀

[img] [/img]

This is the half way point of my short off road loop. Pretty much uphill to here, then down to the track above the right grip. Short easy climb along the top of the ridge, then downhill almost all the way home.

(Great idea for a photo thread, by the way!)

This was the view on Sunday from my local "hill"

It may look flat but don't knock it, on a recent 20 miler I totalled just over 72ft of elevation!

Great idea for a photo thread

Agreed.

Taken about three weeks ago just off the way of the dead route featured in the latest issue. Takes about an hour or so to ride to from my house.

This is the furthest point out of my loop. I stop have a snickers and watch the planes come into Gatwick. Then on my way before I seize up!

Can ride (and carry!) there in an hour from the door, as nearest decent hill. 20 mins up Whinlatter tarmac, then off road.

Now ride much of the same terrain on my gnarmac bike! Bit more of a challenge. 😀

View across Glasgow to the trossachs and beyond on a clear day , right above paisley though so you can't have everything !

Decent local hill on last weeks shop ride. Was a cracker. 😉

Got out of work at a reasonable time, trains almost ran on time, home......exhale.......find my Soul asylum. Not the best view (some of the above are stunning), but it is local, it is green and it works for me. Zippykona, that looks very "local" too....checks Strava flybys 🙂

Love the first shot boxelder - did pretty much all those tops a few weeks back 8)

This is taken on my local loop, straight out the door.

My local 'big' hill is about a 45min cycle from home then another 45 mins (for me! ) climb. On a nice day though, it's worth every pedal stroke.

Might have to head up there tomorrow if it stays dry (it gets really badly cut up in the wet), a great wee hill.

B. 😉

@thecaptain - where is that? It looks really familiar.

Bealach Oisin (which gets a mention in Cyclist magazine this month), out of the house and 5km later your climbing :-).

bubs, that's on the settle loop - not sure exactly where, my wife took it.
