Keeping in line with photo books. Rapha releases its 2nd volume in cycling guides called Great Road Climbs of the Southern Alps. "Written by Graeme Fife with the photography of Pete Drinkell, the book captures the beauty and intrigue of the southern regions of the Alps, exploring climbs and roads steeped in the history of road racing and beyond."
Another cycling photography book. Another auto cop.
At least for me, while cycling everything is slowed down and you can truly appreciate your surroundings. The scenery, people, traffic, buildings. I guarantee you take a bike ride on a normal route you drive and you will see things that you just sped by. I personally can not wait for ALC9 for that reason alone. Going to see more of California in one week then I have in 28 years.
