I make no attempt to hide the fact that I have stolen this thread idea from another site, I was looking for photos of park rash and came across it, loved it and thought the members of bike radar deserved something similar.
Basically you upload a picture of your favourite, most memorable, stunning pieces of Tarmac for us all to ogle.
I have a couple of guidelines, the first being the most important.
1. Say where the photo is, and preferable the name of it so that interested people can question you on it.
2. Would be great if you have ridden it so that interested people can question you about it.
3. It would be great if it was your photograph rather than a generic google image, professional or not. Suppose I should start it off,
Cheddar gorge
