Description
Road cyclists venture into the mountains for many reasons. While some books focus on the geography and logistics of these routes, few explore the deeper significance of mountain climbing in cycling culture. Higher Calling delves into the folklore surrounding road cycling's relationship with Europe's mountain ranges. Max Leonard weaves together adventure writing, travel narrative, and the stories of professional racing to create a compelling exploration of courage, sacrifice, love, obsession, and more. From the creation of Alpine roads to the lives of shepherds on the peaks, this book offers a unique perspective on the world of road cycling. Through its pages, Higher Calling reveals the mountains as a place where legends are forged and great cyclists make their mark.
