It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
Ernest Hemingway

Roads

As my knees start to seize from the lowering temps and the cold rainy days seem never ending my thoughts are on  ROADS and the utter shit ones I'm surrounded by. Although to be honest the scenery in the north west of England is impressive in parts but what lets it down is the road surface itself. Snake bit punchers were a regular occurrence last winter as my back tyre seems to excel in finding the many pot holes littering the roads. England Councils forget about looters, riots and fucking public transport just fill the pot holes you cunts 
L'Alpe d'Huez, Col du Galibier i will cycle this before i die and maybe doing it!
