what is the most difficult location you have managed to get to with you bike.
or what would be the most difficult location to reach.
The middle of a council estate in Liverpool ? ๐ณ
A parking space at Swinley ๐
London
just opposite Muckle Flugga(*childhood ambition) mainly due to getting near enough to cycle - the joys of finding remote locations
someone must have done striding edge.
Striding Edge, early 1990's, Marin Nail Trail, 20mm elastomer forks and V brakes, Tick.
Including the small traverse path across the main face to the summit ...
Now sitting in a small pool of wee....
The Decathlon store in Wednesbury. Either an hours ride through horrible Black Country towns, a 45 minute ride up some equally horrible dual carriage ways or 45 minutes on a train to Bescott Stadium and a 15 minute ride through the arse end of Wednesbury.
The bimonthly trip to Decathlon is the one time I regret selling my car.
Through the main gate in Downing Street?
Any commuter train
Black Sail pass with a full load (ahem) is a bit of a push.
smart arse answers are rubbish.
Rockall?
Not in the Uk but the [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/long-shot-roque-del-conde-from-costa-adeje ]Roque Del Conde[/url] is looking pretty fricken impossible ๐
Oh not in the UK? Dark side of the moon then.... Plonker ๐
A traverse of the Aonach Eagach ridge trumps Striding edge, two muppets did carry there bikes along it.
Ben Macdui for me, massive descent that feels pretty full on and commiting due to the remote location, then a big hike past the falls of Avon and on over the shoulder of Bynack mor back to civilisation, feels fairly remote.
A really unpleasant spot is the traverse from great end to scafell pike. Horrid, bouldery, rubbish. Do not attempt!
Ben Macdui for me
I walked most of that!! Boulders the size of hatchbacks, I seem to recall removing 80% of my bikes paint on that.
Bloody lovely spot though. Till the midges in the forest t'other side devoured us.
Peaslake car park on a Saturday morning when the sun is out!
mikewsmith - Top of this hill?
There's a race up that (Gold Hill in Shaftesbury) every year if you fancy it?!
real life? I was still in the piss take answers....
The ride in from Oz would probably take a while
Macdui does have the advantage in this argument of requiring a really big day out to ride (we did it in around 40 miles, and it was amazing) but isn't especially difficult to ride.
I think the hardest entirely rideable thing I've done is the Ben Nevis tourist path.
Taken my bike up many stupid things but I'd say Sail in the Lake District descending pretty much directly East is the least rideable for the longest way I've fone.
Top of this hill?
Was going to say I've done that and warns74 has stolen my piss. In a manner of speaking.
someone must have done striding edge.
I did Crib Goch once. It was my first time along it, but I reckoned it was doable cos I'd read about the Crane cousins doing it. Wouldn't be in a hurry to repeat the experience.
When you say you did Crib Goch, did you cycle much/any of it or was it all carrying?
Either way - hats off!

Purely for sanctioned drug testing....!
I rode down it in the wet once, was interesting trying to slow down enough before you hit the row of cottages at the bottom!
Anything suggested by Kenny Wilson. But my vote goes to the Old Man of Hoy.
Now if you rode from surrey to the Old Man, i would be impressed, this would show commitment to the cause, it's quite an adventure getting over there to climb it, seems quite popular these days.
Smart arse maybe, but I would still echo the 'commuter train' comment up the page.
Why can something that's [i]at least[/i] five hundred foot long (ish ๐ ), only take four bikes at a time?

The sheepskin rug in my lounge. Only accessible by bike when papadirt is out
Nice RR.
Cheers! Belongs to my son . . . wish I could play ๐
the Queens fu**ing bedroom.
Michael Fagin got onto the Queen's bedroom twice. Can't be too hard. Met him once. Very slimey. My Jack Russell tried to chew his hand off.
did it smell of old trout?
GCHQ ?
Middle of Rannoch Moor.
Middle of Rannoch Moor.
Having dragged a canoe across it, I feel able to say that would be wet, but not too difficult.
I do think a cheeky manual down Downing Street would be most difficult to pull off.
Failing that, Cullin or some of the Torridon Peaks
Ashworth, Broadmoor.
He didn't ride up there though.
Manchester airport
He didn't ride up there though.
Was that a stipulation?
(He still rode a lot of stuff that I was leery of walking, though).
It wasn't stipulated, but you can go anywhere with a bike if someone takes you both there.
Anyway, it makes for an awesome video ๐
I thought he actually carried the bike up there? (So fair game AFAIC)
Fantastic video, though! ๐
Sweamrs was once doing some work near downing street and they weren't allowed to lock the bikes for security reasons. I was worried it would go for a walk. This being London. On the first morning she sent me a text "the armed policeman says he'll keep an eye on it". This was a while ago mind. Don't think she ever rode down the street either but close.
