^^^^^^^^

absolutely stunning.

I'm away to find Lochaber on the map for future reference.
I don't think it's near to Stoke

Velo Fleuri at the Semaine Federale.

A personal favourite, also at the Sem Fed.

Most of my photos seem to be portrait orientation this year.

If I remember rightly there was the most appalling headwind at this point. I did a video of the 300 I recall.

What a super looking route
.Snow on mountain tops reminds me of the view from the Crask Inn dining room whilst eating breakfast on day3.
Other views bring to mind memories of the Strathnaver valley

That footage has excited me cycling-wise like nothing else has done since I finished my E2E

Clicky for big. I don't think that the source digital pictures are big enough for the calendar but they are groovy pictures of the Irish Mail 400 last year and I like em

The short cut to Beddgelert

On the highest road in Wales

I recognise that highest road in Wales.A member of this forum who used to live not too far away from there ~~conned~~,~~coerced~~allowed me to follow him to the viewpoint at the top via Lake Vyrnwy
Does the Irish Mail then route you down into Bala via that Geronimo-nevereending, this-is-frightening-but-exciting-I-should-have-checked-my-brakes downhill?

I was correct.
598 km.
A few days away in the caravan( connected to the car would be usefull according to Marj) to do this ride seems like a non-shabby plan.

If I could convince Marj to drive/tow the caravan back home I could ride home

Up to Bwlch y Groes from Lake Vyrnwy, down to the north (unless you're Mel K...). Was quite exciting enough on 61", TYVM.

Yup,that was the way I was led off the straight & narrow onto the uphill & breathtaking.
I really don't like hills but you do get a buzz of satisfaction from the view at the top of this one don't you & the downhill turns you into an adrenalin junkie.
Did you disconnect your legs at the hips to get down on fixed? & 61".
