    Don't know if this counts as scenic or not but it's my back garden and I rather like it. I can't claim any credit for it though as it's my wife who has the green fingers.

    I like it. What's the tree in the background?

    Kilnsey very nice.
    Not sure what route he’s on though, guide books in the garage and I can’t be are a*sed to go and look at it. Big corner to right of him is Directissima though.

    Sadly my mobile phone photography doesn't do him justice. He had a right physique on him.

    In an another life time ago I once had a physique that enabled me to climb at Kilnsey shirtless without embarrassing myself or anybody watching.

    I've got a pretty poor photo of my bike and a tunnel, its over 2000 m up a mountain, nearly a mile long with very poor lighting and a dripping roof. But the view from the other end is worth it.

    Very nice, could be a "what's the other side of the tunnel" feature

    Sunrise Mountain up close


    Looks a great place to ride

    It is, you wouldn't think a place known as "Sin City" would be, but pretty much all new and remodeled infrastructure accommodates cycling and the weather is amazing as long as you don't mind getting up a little early in the summer :wink:

    Parked up near the Acorn Dairy Farm, Darlington. Claudette wanted to say hello to the cows, but there were none there today.

    Nice bike, but the scenery is a bit lacking.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    That does look like a good ride, assuming those hairpins ahead are still on gravel I'd have taken the descent very gingerly.

    Today's bikestop-little spin up to Throstlenest Farm, Darlington, again. On the other side of the road is a bridle path which I parked Claudette against. Might have to check that out sometime... Oh and I downloaded the Strava app which tracks your journey. 6 miles today.
