WOW that was quick

ive been waiting a while to do that one, didnt think it would get snapped up so quickly!!

**aer0** · 2nd July 2009, 14:24

damn, thats not gonna be on streetview..

any clues?

**BMWST?** · 2nd July 2009, 14:43

gnu...is that a clue?
otherwise I have no clue,steep hillsides,highvoltage lines not withstanding.I think these "middle of no where" shots do need some sort of clue.The Brittons one was ok that was a clue in itself but this one hmmm
Am i being unreasonable?

OK. The road carries on under a different name, but it's beyond my range. Though not because my bike's not a GS (though I do have serious GS envy). It's closed to all but those on legs, but if you really must ride this historic road, there's a short section of tarmac at it's very end.

Thought I should post aer0's message here to keep things fair...

No, think further west. And valley rather than hill.

And we have Streetview! Believe it or not, two pieces of the same road.

dont get too envious the gs is really a road bike in disguise mate.the only difference between yours and mine really is a bash plate and longer suspension.I have a slightly chunky rear tire and a slightly chunkier again front 21 in ...i think our frames are very very similar

Yeah, I'm actually considering a GS front end and some knobblies and seeing if I can just go and hit some trails that way.

i am on a good track i think....i have steep hills and pylons around me

Some more rifling through maps and you'll get there. I don't wanna overdo it on the ol' coaching.

Valley rather than hill, further west than Stratton Street or Normandale Road.
Two hi-voltage power lines. Historic road. That really leaves only one option. It's gotta be ....

Problem is that I can not find the two street views pictured in that valley, that's what is stopping me jumping on the bike and going for a looksie.
I am a little stumped.
Can you confirm the view in the picture is looking in a general East, South-East direction?
How far off the tarseal is your bike parked?
