Best place to cycle?

[Matthew_T]

I have come across a bit of money and was planning on going for a weekend break somewhere and taking my bike. The idea was to travel in the morning, go for a ride, stay at a B&B, go for a ride the next morning, and then drive home that night.

I was wondering where the best place to go would be. I dont really mind a hilly route but would like to see as much as I can in the two days. I am thinking of a 40-60 mile route.
Any suggestions?

Glen Coe, Loch Lomond or Loch Ness are some good places to ride to. Apart from the weather, just about anywhere in the highlands is awsome.

I am looking at the Isle of Man.

Seeing as you're not far from Holyhead- you could always take the ferry to Dun Laoghaire for a short tour of Eastern Ireland? It's relatively flat and you could enjoy a few Guinnesses while you're there.

Personally I would wait for the spring when the weather improves,otherwise you could be wasting your money,unless you enjoy riding in awful weather.

Thats what I am doing. But its cheaper to book in advance so that I know I will get the room.

In that case you are spoilt for choice. There are so many nice places suitable for good cycling. I suggest you study some maps and google earth to give you an idea of the terrain.

I am growing very fond of the Isle of Man. A circumnavigation of the whole island is 70 miles. And the place to stay I am looking at is for £35 a night.

Sounds good but how much is the ferry?
