Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as a bit of a reference so that I can plan a trip abroad and being a sucker for a bit of pain it's helped me work out the area I will stay in. The pictures are amazing and the detailed description and elevation profile of each climb is very well thought out. Any cyclist that loves climbing will really enjoy this book as it also goes into the history of each climb.
Just buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful images. Excellent format. Good choices regarding the 50 selected climbs. I did not know them all, and I am some what a nerd regarding road racing, so I had my list of climbs to visit expanded a bit. What more to ask then? Well, a bit more text perhaps. However, if you know any one with a passion for riding, they should receive this one for xmas.

This book is everything the book "Tour Climbs" should have been and failed to achieve. A book to read, display and plan trips with. Well done. Highly recommended.
