    2km up the climb to Hautacam, looking over Argeles-Gazost. In the distance you can see the heavy rain falling on Col du Soulor.

    Out again today, other side of the bay though down to the lighthouse, ferry was €3 return, good value and we timed it pretty well, no waiting :)
    Not as nice a day but still ok.

    I was going to post the following picture in this thread, but thought I might be asked to leave that thread if I did so here she is.

    1F9456CFA5CE4853987AF1AE9A8F759D-0000359217-0003054940-00500L-1622C61E44AE4F818C2AAA15C1D9D345.jpg

    She can be found somewhere around Lough Derg! My sense of direction was going at that point so I cannot tell you exactly where :o , but isn't she lovely!

    Could do with a bit less railings and a bit more bike in the photo, but she looks like a comfy tourer. If this is your bike, and looking at your log and the mileage you're putting in, if the funds become available, you should consider a road bike.

    I think that's a flower pot stand :) maybe kerry4sam could take another photo next spring to confirm? Agree about the railings :)

    Still enjoying this thread immensely. Please keep posting these lovely photos.

    I took a few photos while doing one of my favourite climbs over here in Taipei at the weekend.

    Still in the lowlands. A lot of farmland at this stage:

    Maokong-cycle-014.jpg

    Every so often you come across these nice wee bridges, usually connecting a house to the road.

    Maokong-cycle-019.jpg

    A lot of crappily-constructed shacks by the side of the road too, unfortunately:

    Maokong-cycle-021.jpg

    And you occasionally come across a monastery too. This one's a Carmelite Monastery (if you zoom in you can see it written over the arch).

    Maokong-cycle-022.jpg

    A lot of the views look like this though:

    Maokong-cycle-023.jpg

    Maokong-cycle-013.jpg

    Near the highest part. Really starting to ramp up now.

    Maokong-cycle-030.jpg

    Maokong-cycle-026.jpg

    Another view of that last one:

    Maokong-cycle-025.jpg

    Not quite sure what this is, but it's very pretty. A lot of cars park here cos people come up and hike from here.

    Maokong-cycle-032.jpg

    One of the many temples you'll see on any trip out:

    Maokong-cycle-001.jpg

    There's a cable car up to the top of the mountain. Here's a photo from near the top, showing it, as well as the city centre in the background. You can see Taipei 101 down there, the tallest building in the world until a couple of years ago.

    Maokong-cycle-010.jpg

    And here's me at the top. I swear I was trying to smile, but the sun was really making me squint.

    But its never the same as home. Love looking at the pictures posted up here

    Hard to follow some of the shots and locations in this thread;) Great stuff folks.


    Nice morning today so I decided to take a different route to one of my more normal spins, I left the flatlands of the Curragh,

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-1 by cilldara, on Flickr

    and headed on through Kilcullen in the direction of Dunlavin

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-3 by cilldara, on Flickr

    passing Gormanstown Church on the way,

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-2 by cilldara, on Flickr

    From Dunlavin I headed to Hollywood and up the hill towards the Wicklow Gap,

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-4 by cilldara, on Flickr

    I didn't go all the way up though, turning instead for Valleymount and back towards the Lakes

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-1-2 by cilldara, on Flickr

    Nice colours to be seen on the road back to Blessington, even if this shot does them no justice.

    Wicklow Spin 11-11-5 by cilldara, on Flickr

    From there it was the drop back into Naas and the flat road home across the bog by Blacktrench and Clongorey.

    A very enjoyable day out.
