    Locarno at the top of lake maggiori. and this is what the swiss mean when they say cycle facility. There is a similar tarmac path right through the mountains into Italy.

    On the continental theme...

    Extra point for the village taken from, massive props for an exact location but it's pretty exclusive.

    Please excuse the truck, it sort of hides the view

    Oi. Bl00dy didn't. Clue was in Armstrong and Millar(er), that well known comedy duo.

    Any roads, not confirmed right as yet.

    girona it is

    I see some of us were up at 8am bst , 7am bwt, checking the forum . One can only hope this was before setting off for a big day out in such superb weather.

    girona and the surrounding area to the coast or into the hills is brilliant cycling country, especially with a robust fattish tyred bike that you can do the unsurfaced roads on.The city centre is very nice too. Not big but lots of cake .
