Contemporary cycling photography of the great European cycling climbs. Iconic climbs of the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. From the Passo Stelvio to the Col du Galibier, the Col du Tourmalet to the Col d'Aubisque. This contemporary photography captures the fundamental essence, beauty, and grandeur of these famous mountain passes, featured every year in the Tour de France, the Tour de Suisse, and the Giro d'Italia.
It's important to understand that cyclists are fanatics. It comes with the territory. Don't expect them to be normal. For a bike rider, cycling 27km. up a mountain for no apparent reason is normal. They do it for the challenge, they do it because they can, for the thrill of it, for the kudos, for the buzz. For the incredible sense of elation that comes with being in the middle of a landscape so impressive it takes your breath away. To know without a shadow of a doubt this is a good day, a great day, a day to remember, a day that counts.

The Tourmalet is a monster climb, from the east it's steep, from the west, it's wild and open and long and steep. This is a monster with teeth, and I am not the only one to have been bitten. If you have been there, put it on your wall to remind yourself and others, how far you have come. If you haven't been there, put it on your wall to remind yourself, and others, of how far you still have to go.
Road to the TourmaletClimbing the Sa Calobra is tough, but not too tough. It's hot, but usually not too hot. It's definitely a challenge, but one that leaves you feeling physically and mentally on top of the world. The air is sweet and smells of the sea. Going up or down, it's as close to paradise on a bike as you're ever likely to find.
For the cyclist in your life.
