"There" is in Switzerland, about 15 km away from Lake Constance (as starting point), so it is quite close to Austria and Germany.
The mountain on the first pic is the "Saentis" which I see most of the time on my rides as ithis mountain is somehow a little "exposed" (is that the word?).
The mountain on the 2nd pic are the "Churfirsten"; these mountains are at the mountain chain behind the "Saentis".
Very scenic region to ride, yet not that high, so I can ride almost the whole year here as no roads are closed in winter.
Here are a couple of photos from my Sunday club rides. They are taken in the Peak District in Northwest England.

Yes it is a little bit damp here in blighty at the mo....
Flossie- thats my back yard! If you strain hard enough you might be able to see my house from there (looking back from Roche End towards Tittesworth Res).
hope you used the sick climb up to there.....
I can guarantee it ain't like that at the moment.

hmmm... i see a little tummy there.... anton, we have to do something
5-times up to the schwägalp and it would slowly comes better.
Maybe we should start a WW commune, somewhere warmish all year round and preferably not raining all the time, like here in the UK.
We could all come and go as we pleased.
I'm thinking of trading in my bike helmet in exchange for a snorkel and mask.
