REALLY WILD CYCLING

Following the author's best-selling Wild Cycling, here are routes which strike still further off the beaten track, to challenge and exhilarate the adventurous cyclist. Most take only a few hours, but some are longer - and a few much longer, taking even the fittest several days. Each ride is graded in difficulty, and illustrated with photos, an annotated map and a profile of the terrain, with escape points in case of bad weather. An introduction explains safety techniques and underlines the skills, knowledge, equipment and fitness levels required.
