I didn't take my bike either but flying in it looks like the mountains around Sana'a would be awesome on a mountain bike. Country just has bigger problems at the moment though...

No. I call it "The tit". It is is situated next to lake Mälaren.
And the "foreign" subs in our archipelago is no fun at all. Google U137... I am 46 soon and I remember that...

Returned Tuesday night after a 4 day credit card tour with three friends from Lilydale to Wangaratta 489km. Included some extremely rough and steep terrain between Mirimbah and Whitfield...
Day one 163km from Lilydale to Jamieson roughly half sealed - Warburton rail trail, Reefton Spur, Eildon Warburton rd (not one car!) and finally over a tough climb at around 140km in to finally descend into Jamieson.
Bike set up using my Revelate Designs Viscacha which works amazingly including numerous jumps over water bars day two!
Eildon Warburton rd
Day two Jamieson to Whitfield over Mt Stirling 133km and some extremely steep and rough 4WD tracks.
No 3 Road view at around 1550m above sea level
Day three 104km. Was to go over the back of Mt Buffalo via the Goldie Spur track, but the inclement weather had us taking the safer option to Myrtleford and then onto Bright.
Day 4 88km Cruise into Wangaratta via the rail trail and couple of hours enjoying the three course degustation option at Gapsted winery...

Hi basilic
I saw your post and have recently just come across Weight Weenies so I registered.
I was near the location above this September with a couple of friends - Morzine? you may have gone through it if you descended down the "easy" side of the Joux Plane? Anyway it was my first time in the Alps (cycling and hiking holiday, but we ended up cycling everyday and hiking when we got back!), what a stunning stunning place, so much so I didn't want to leave lol we are going back in February and again in summer! (Morzine).
Whilst there we biked everyday (first climb was the Avoriaz which was my first ever Alpine climb) and threw in some MTB as well but mostly road. I've got a ton of pics.
You are incredibly lucky to have such amazing cycling near you and I am extremely jealous
I keep looking at the Morzine webcams to see how the snow level is but I guess its still reasonably early yet. Would love to see more pics and hear of any "bonus" climbs in the area that are maybe not so well known.
Thanks
Dalai, that looks like a great adventure!
welcome back Makoy
Timemachine, I could have ridden to Morzine but that side was in the shade and it was getting late. Lots of good riding in the area, touch base whenever you're about to get here, I'll give you some suggestions.
Today the cold weather is back, I hoped to see the sun again but no luck. The stratus layer up to Mt Saxonnex:
in and out of this
