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 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
Show me a mountain - any mountain - and I’ll show you any number of riders willing to race up it - just for fun - just for the hell of it - It’s what we do - It’s who we are - These pictures are for the ones who can’t sit still. For the undefeated. The unbowed. The indestructible.
The ones who’d rather bleed on the climb than rust on the sofa.
You've climbed it - felt it - earned it - Put it on the wall and relive it - every day. They're more than dramatic pictures to adorn your walls.

Considering the immense scale of the mountains, an A1 print size is recommended for these pictures.
The Italian and Swiss Alps are tough-guy-tough-girl territory. Here, the men get sorted from the boys, the women from the girls. These climbs are often on a different scale, either in altitude, or length, sometimes remoteness, or all of the above. The only mistake would be not to go.

Sella Ronda - ViewHeading out onto the Col d’Ausbisque under a thick blanket of low cloud, which soon turns into not-so-low clouds. You could be thinking it’s just going to be one of those days. Visibility drops below 30 meters, then 20 as you climb up into the thickest cloud you will ever see.
Some days this could be all you’ll ever see, but not today. Slowly out of the enveloping blanket of thick cloud, rounding another hairpin and out into the brilliant sunshine. What was an impossibility day became one of the best days ever.
