well... there are more challenging lanes alright, pay and pray is only as extreme as you feel able.

This was a beginners trip obviously and it covered pretty much everything from that point of view. But laning is just that, exploring the countryside on ancient roads. the Gap road is a good one with some hefty climbing as is starta florida a technical lane littered with rocks. A lane near me is easy enough but has some very narrow bridges/gates and scenery.

We will organise something a little more adventurous in the future ;-)
