Ride a Stage of the Tour De France

The Tour de France is one of the best-known and most challenging
athletic events in the world. In the first three weeks of July every
year, the pros pit their strength, wit and skill against each other
over the gruelling 3,500km route. And every year, amateur riders the
world over dream of tackling one of the Tour's legendary stages
themselves.

Ride a Stage of the Tour de France
is the first book that allows non-professional cyclists to do just
that. A thorough 'how to' guide, it covers forty of the Tour's classic
ascents, including Mount Ventoux, Galibier and Tourmalet.

Each
route is described in detail by an author who has ridden them all.
There's information to help you prepare, train and choose the right
stage, and each route comes with a map and vital statistics like
altitude, length and difficulty. From where to park to when to go, from
what to wear to the characteristics of the road, Riding a Stage of the Tour de France has all you need to complete the challenge safely and successfully.
