The Great British Road Rides Guide

The Great British Road Rides Guide will inspire you to plan spectacular road rides.
Road-tested by experienced rider Clive Forth, the 55 fun, flowing routes have been selected for their lack of traffic, their variation and their stunning views of the British landscape:
- Routes from all across the UK
- Each ride features a route map, an elevation map and concise information on length, climbs and rail links, along with a descriptive ride-through
- Rides vary from 30km to 200km, with climbs of 200m to 3000m
- Includes two 'Taste Le Tour' rides for each of the two Tour de France Yorkshire stages in 2014.
The guide also includes printable routes from the Bloomsbury website.
