Download or read book The Road Bike Climbs of the Alps written by Jerry Nilson and published by . This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a presentation of all the paved road climbs in all of the Alps at or above 2000m. It also includes the gravel roads that I have cycled on above 2000m. The book is written from the perspective of a road cyclist, but the information provided here may also be of interest to a broader audience as one learns much about the Alps and its roads. It can also serve as a reference for the high roads of the Alps, even if not every aspect is covered. Through photos, descriptions, facts about length and steepness, and personal experiences, you will gain an understanding of what to expect when cycling up these roads. Jerry Nilson has previously published Dream Road Bike Tour of the Alps - a practical guide on how to plan and execute your own tour through the mountains, illustrated with a suggested and detailed "Dream Tour" based on personal experience. To date, Jerry has visited over 4000 passes and other climbs, with a special focus on the Alps. Jerry hopes to publish further books on the best other climbs and routes in the Alps, and possibly later in the Pyrenees and possibly other locations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Martijn Doolaard traded in the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Rough Stuff Cycling in the Alps written by Fred Wright and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rough Stuff Cycling in the Alps guide book was compiled by Fred Wright and self-published in 2002. It preserved the collective wisdom of generations of riders who pioneered riding the 'rough stuff' - riders who headed into the high peaks armed only with touring bikes and canvas rucksacks, sandals and floppy hats, crossing mountain ranges and joining up towns and famous cols on little-known gravel tracks, dirt trails and even icy climbs. This was gravel biking before gravel bikes - mountain biking before mountain bikes, in some cases. The book contained nearly 300 routes, ranging from easy unsurfaced roads at little more than 1000m to steep footpaths above 3000m, and from the southern French Alps to Switzerland, the Dolomites and the Austrian Tirol. The entries often included detailed personal accounts of when the route was ridden, and the book also offered tips for beginners, advice on equipment and maps, and suggestions for routes not covered in the guide. More and more of us are choosing to head off the beaten track with our bikes. Adventure touring, gravel biking, bike-packing - whatever you call it, we all want to get out there. The Alps are one of cycling's ultimate playgrounds, and this guide is an invaluable resource of practical information about cycling in some of the most remote and beautiful places in Europe. This new edition includes; 16 new hand-drawn maps, showing the areas covered and the routes described, so that readers can easily locate the main towns and road passes, and the potential unpaved tracks and paths to navigate between them A beautiful overall Alps map illustrated by Stefan Amato of Pannier.cc An extended colour photo section. Fred included just four photos of his adventures. We will have at least 16 pages of original photos taken by Fred and other pioneers of rough stuff riding in the Alps. See the pics in this campaign for a selection. A new introduction by Fred Wright himself, explaining the genesis of the book and recounting his riding life. A new postscript by James Olsen (founder of the Torino-Nice Rally, who used the guide to create the TNR) on rough stuff in the 21st century. This will give advice for using the book in the age of mountain bikes and gravel bikes, bike-packing luggage, 3G and GPS Updated information - for example, on the availability of paper maps and adding a few suggested routes where possible.
