Contemporary cycling photography prints in colour or black and white of the great European cycling climbs.
Including iconic climbs of the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, the French, Italian, and Swiss Alps. From the Passo dello Stelvio to the Col du Galibier, the Col du Tourmalet to the Col d'Aubisque. These contemporary photography prints capture the fundamental essence, beauty, and grandeur of these famous mountain climbs, featured every year in the Tour de France 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 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

The Passo Gardena, Passo Sella, Passo Pordoi, and Passo Campolongo make up the Sella Ronda, a 53km (33-mile) cycling loop around the Sella Massif in the Italian Dolomites. It is widely regarded as one of the best cycling routes in the world. Go ride it, tell me I'm wrong.
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.
Answer the call of the wild

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.
