    It appears you need a new picture. Here's one for you........ where's this then (and for a bonus point, where have you seen this road before)??

    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    No much bigger than that - involves girls, cars, tanks and helicopters rather than bikes ;)

    Golden Eye where he was racing Famke Jansen and they caused a 'comedy' crash of cyclists riding up?

    If so it's Thorenc but was supposedly just outside Monaco.

    Gold star for Pross

    The picture was taken half way down the "Route de Greolieres les Nieges" just inland from Nice - maybe 20 miles or so away and a stunning descent to ride (other than the 4x4 that got in my way) :D

    Not enough trees for Loch Ness you daft southerner and I suppose you've been to Scotland which actually means you went to Edinburgh as a kid for two days. I also presume you think we all live in Castles, wear kilts and eat porage with Whisky and Black Treacle poured over it.

    Have you seen 'Trainspotting', 'Small Faces' and 'Taggart'?

    Skelmersdale is in West Lancashire!! 30 miles from the Lakes.

    Shap isn't in the Lakes either... it's in Cumbria.
