Product description
Higher Calling: Road Cycling’s Obsession with the Mountains is a book which explores the central place of mountains in the folklore of road cycling. Blending adventure and travel writing with the rich narrative of pro racing, Max Leonard takes the reader from the battles that created the Alpine roads to the shepherds tending their flocks on the peaks, and to a Grand Tour climax on the ‘highest road in Europe’. And he tells stories of courage and sacrifice, war and love, obsession and elephants along the way.

Čudovito. Tako sem "padel noter", da me je prijelo, da bi sedel v avto, dal bicikel na prtljažnik in se odpeljal proti francoskim in italijanskim gorskim prelazom... Doživeto napisano, kot bi gledal film.

V knjigi so lepo opisane prigode in različne zgodbe iz kolesarstva. Odlično branje za deževne dni.
