Sample pages from our British road cycling guide Great British Bike Rides, written by Dave Barter.
This book features 40 classic routes for road cyclists across England, Scotland and Wales, taking in the countryâs most celebrated routes, toughest climbs and most scenic roads.
The rides are challenging, they are adventurous, and they are quintessentially British â tackle the gradients of the classic Fred Whitton in the English Lake District; pit yourself against fearsome climbs inspired by the Dragon Ride in Wales; and feast upon Scotland's stunning scenery following wild roads through Assynt and across Skye.
Each ride is accompanied by detailed route information, bespoke mapping and a statistical breakdown including every detail the committed cyclist requires. The book is complemented with a set of downloadable GPX files to further aid navigation.
