This is my Triban, in UK (Lake District), climbing Hardkontt pass!! with one 30%, from my trip around Scotland ;-) 18 kg + 11 kg for the bike! I rode this summer 2.650 k by UK... you can see more information for that in my blog, biziosona.com/2013/08/01/escocia-2013/

Welcome @carlosbi!
I have taken the liberty of moving your original post, hope you don't mind but I think it deserves a bit more focus and will be better with a stand alone thread.
Well done, great journey, enjoyed your blog - I used Google Chrome 'Translate' to read parts but the pictures also explain the story very well.
I'm recommending this to all members, browsing through the pictures is well worth the effort.

Excellent!
At Hardknott Pass, I think you climb or descend from Wrynose Bottom which always raises a giggle from me.

Welcome to the Triban Owners Club, What a great blog you have, I am only about 25% through it but will carry on reading later, there are some fantastic photo's. I am also recommending this to all members, browsing through the pictures is well worth the effort.

Yes it's in England (Lake District). My trip was around Scotland and some parts of UK like North England or Wales. . Thank you very much for the comments, I'm glad you like my blog. I didn't said it before, but before the Triban 3A I had a decathlon 7.2 until I rode 43,000 kms and broken the frame, just past the 5 year warranty. I explain it in my blog, but I think it's the best way to introduce and present the New Triban 3A.

Fantastic effort carlos.
Some incredible pictures and a fantastic account of your trip. Very pleased to see you passed not far from my house. Holme Moss is quite close to where I live. That climb is very difficult and hard going.
A great collection of pictures from a trip you will probably never forget. And all done on a Triban!

That is amazing. Reading about some of those climbs makes me feel a bit sick. I'd definitely need a triple.
Where did the Orbea come from?
