Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what people rate as their best cycle routes?
For me the best ride so far was probably coming down from one of the highest passes about Leh, Ladakh (North India), down to Leh itself. I have to confess it was a lazy ride, downhill all the way but truly beautiful. It starts in the ice and snow at around 5,500m above sea level and descends to about 3,500m. I say lazy as we got a car to take us to the top, meaning you can only stay for 15 mins due to the quick change in altitude. After that we just rolled on down, amazing views, no one else on the road apart from one army convoy going the other way (it was just before they closed the access roads for winter).
Personally, it was the perfect ride at the time, and one I highly recommend if anyone finds themselves in Ladakh.
What are your experiences and where would you recommend for your best riding experiences?
