Mont Ventoux

Mont Ventoux
Unlike many other of the great cycling climbs, the roads leading up the Ventoux don't really go anywhere other than down the other side, making it a haven for cyclists
The Tom Simpson memorial less than a kilometre from the top on the south side removes any remaining doubt that this mountain belongs to us
The upper slopes are devoid of trees or vegetation, leaving a moonscape which is simultaneously desolate and breathtakingly beautiful
Originally forested, Mont Ventoux was systematically stripped of trees from the 12th century onwards to serve the demands of the shipbuilders of the naval port of Toulon. Some areas have been reforested since 1860 with a variety of trees such as Oak and Beech as well as Atlas Cedars and Larch. Higher up, Junipers have reached to within a hundred feet of the summit on the north facing slopes

Port de Pailhères

£89.00
Port de Pailhères
On a good day, this is one of the most beautiful of climbs. On a not so good day, it's even better. Still beautiful, but with a touch of the magical, you don't see everything of the surrounding scenery, just what the clouds will allow. Which could be said for any climb of the Pyrenees.
It's very quiet, which is nice. Very little traffic, and what there is moves slowly and carefully controlled by the cowherds, who think nothing of standing in front of cars while they feed their young, which can take a while.

Col du Tourmalet
davidt fine art cycling photography
£89.00
Col du TourmaletThe Tour de France goes up the Col du Tourmalet almost every year, sometimes twice. It is the most visited of all the mountain passes the Tour visits. This has much to do with its location right in the middle of the Hautes-Pyrenees. In fact, it's quite difficult not to go up the Tourmalet, as there isn't any way around it
The Tourmalet is a monster, 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 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 need to go

Port de Pailhères - Clouds
davidt fine art cycling photography
£89.00
Port de Pailhères
The Port de Pailhères has all the characteristics a mountain climb should possess. Buried deep in the Pyrenees far from the tourist trail, you'll see more cows than people. A constantly changing landscape with clouding rolling in one minute, and rolling out the next leaving blue skies and sunshine.

Col d'Aubisque - Road to ride
For anyone who watches the TV coverage of the Tour de France just for the scenery, you may recognise this picture. For anyone who has ridden this road, you will not forget it. Assuming you can still at least vaguely remember your own name after the effort required just to get here, the view of, and from this road, will live long in the memory

Col d'Aubisque
Go online, type in, Col d'Aubisque, and read story after story about the Col d'Aubisque, how beautiful it is, how you must ride it, how you mustn't forget to look at the scenery blah, blah.
Surprisingly, just for once, the location lives up to the hype. The top section of the Col d'Aubisque has been described as the most beautiful 4 kilometres in Europe, if not the world. I don't know about the world, but I do know a beautiful place when I see it. As long as it's not raining, snowing, covered in cloud, or all three, if you only ride one road, this is the road to ride

Col d'Aspin

Col d'Aspin
Just after sunrise on the Col d'Aspin and the sun is starting to evaporate the clouds, that for a while at least cover these Pyrenean mountains. Is this not heaven?
Around halfway up the climb, the road turns around this little hilltop almost back on itself before continuing its uphill trajectory

Roads - 2 - Ride
especially the ones who don't understand why in the first place, where exactly is it you're going/been? what was the name of the place again?
Why are you doing it again exactly? What do you do - show them a picture on your iPhone?
But does that cut it? Do they really understand?
Roads - 2 - Ride
Time to be recognised as the hero/heroine you are. Time to say, Yeah I did that. Put these fine art photography prints and posters on your wall and you'll never need to justify or explain anything ever again. Just answer questions like "Wow! is that where you are going/been? OMG did you really cycle all the way up there? That's amazing! And, when's your next trip can I come too? Roads-2-Ride is for all the crazy people who for whatever reason think cycling up a mountain is something worth doing
Which of course it is - because when you get up there - this is waiting for you
Photography Opinion
Team Sky have lost the crowd
In their relentless pursuit of success only in terms of numbers, races won, Grand Tours won, Team Sky have lost the crowd. Ever since they threw Bradley Wiggins under the bus after winning the Tour de France in favour of Froome... Read MoreShooting the Tour 5
It's ironic that the sport of cycling, especially stage races like the Tour de France, is one of the fastest moving of all sports yet requires its fans to sit still in the same place for hours, days, or even a week, just to catch a glimpse of the action Read MoreShooting the Tour 4
The Tour organisers quite obviously hadn't taken my needs into account at all when deciding on the route for the 2017 Tour de France. The Col du Galibier didn't disappoint, but the Col de la Grand Colombier was a different matter. Read More
Alpe d’Huez - Black & White
£89.00
Alpe d’Huez - Black & White
One of the top climbs of the Tour de France. The average percentage of Alpe d'Huez is quite high at 8.1% with a length of 13.2 km and 1,071m. of climbing. But, isn't on paper at least, one of the toughest climbs. However, what Alpe d'Huez lacks in altitude and length is made up for in intensity. The climb is full-on from the bottom to the top with very little respite from the gradient or the heat bouncing off the south facing rock-lined road. See you there for the 2018 Tour de France.

St. Gotthard Pass - Black & White
£89.00
St. Gotthard Pass - Black & White
The Vintage Road. Most of the St. Gotthard Pass is paved with granite cobbles, smaller cobbles than Flanders, but cobbles none the less. Ok going up, not so much fun going down. But with the real advantage of clearing the motorcycles that plague these roads. With a new road tunnel bypassing the original road entirely, you have the climb almost to yourself, apart from the other crazy cyclists climbing this piece of history. Time to dust off that 1970's Claud Butler or Mercian, and hit the vintage road.

Col du Galibier - Black & White
Climbing the Col du Galibier from the North in something like an hour and a half, or two hours would be considered reasonable. Warren Barguil tops the Strava leaderboard when he went up the Galibier during the 2017 Tour de France like a steam train in a little over 48 minutes. Humbling. I have witnessed greatness with my own eyes. If Warren Barguil doesn't win the Tour de France one day I will eat my hat.

The Stelvio - Black & White
£89.00
The Stelvio - Black & White
One of the truly great climbs in cycling and one of the great mountain passes of Europe and the world. Nothing compares to The Stelvio for drama and sheer gobsmacking wonder at it all. This isn't about getting close to nature, this is being immersed in it up to your neck.
