Just like an ageing rocker it's time for my greatest hits colection to be unleased! Fresh on the shelves of you best local news agents in the Procycling publication "The Ultimate Great Rides". Basically it's a superbly produced book-zine with 270 pages of the best of my "great rides" series from the magazine. Five years and 45 great travel features have gone into the publication, so go check it out...
Here's a couple of snippets from the ed's forward:
"At the end of the very best bike ride is complete
satisfaction and a real sense of achievement. That's what Steve Thomas's "Great
Rides" features, which have been a key part of Procycling magazine since
we first launched in 1999, have always been about. There are so many exciting
and chalenging routes, across Europe, in North America and elsewhere, that
we've never once run short on locations."
"The selection we've chosen features 45 of the most scenic and exciting
rides that Steve, and other Procycling corespondents, have undertaken. Steve's
words and photography are borne from years of experince and here we have showcased
his work to illustrate just how many amazing routes there are out there."
"Procycling's Great Rides section is acknowledged by readers as one of the magazines strongest features. over the past five years, highly respected travel and cycling journalist Steve Thomas, and a number of other contributors have crossed the world to tackle not only the most famous roads associated with profesional cycling, but also some of the most captivating routes on the planet."
