    Wow, some of those photos are incredible! I feel sorry for the people on exercise bikes in the gym, all they get is the view of someone else's sweaty backside!


    I took this one in Castlegregory back in May.

    This sign was at the very top of Conor Pass. I couldn't help but grin when I saw it!:D

    That statement is the reason why I bought an actual bike! Why sit in air conditioning when you can be outside!

    View past the reservoir in North County Dub... nah it's about 2/3 the way up the Glandon :D

    This is one of the main reasons I love cycling. Sure it's fun and gets me fit, but the weather and the scenery are a huge draw.

    I thought west Cork was supposed to be gorgeous. Last time I was there as a child, so I don't really remember.


    @Biopace. You have some lovely shots there. Would make a great advertisement for cycling in Ireland.

    Col du Soulor this afternoon. 28c in the shade. As the ski station has closed and the summer season has not yet started, there were no cars at all today, just a couple of dozen cyclists.
    col-du-soulor-1.jpg?855966542
    3km from the summit.

    col-du-soulor-2.jpg
    It is a 21km climb at 5%, but the last 7km average 7.8%

    col-du-soulor-3.jpg
    At the summit looking west towards Col d'Aubisque, the Tour will be along here on 15th July.
