      The Transcontinental Race is a non-stop bicycle race across Europe. The route – often over 4,000km in length – strings together a series of spectacular mountaintop control points, which participants must navigate between without any outside assistance.It's a Race provides a glimpse of this unique sporting event up close. Combining documentary photography - from dramatic landscapes and intimate portraits to emotive reportage - with a series of written contributions from participating riders, the book is an exploration, and celebration, of a truly unique sporting event.Following the adventure over the high passes of the Alps, across the great plains of Central Europe, and between the dramatic river gorges of the Balkan peninsula, the story traces the contours of a continent alongside the personal, sometimes life-changing experiences of its participants and documentarians.

      A practical and inspirational guide to planning every kind of off-road cycling, from nearby “microadventures” to global itineraries, drawing on the author’s own epic journeys From wilderness treks to weekends spent following local coastal paths, adventure cycling combines cycle touring, mountain biking, and camping to open up new and exciting possibilities for adventure on two wheels. Cycling writer and photographer Joshua Cunningham spent eleven months cycling from London to Hong Kong, a journey that spanned twenty- six countries and 13,670 miles. During his journey, he captured thousands of photographs of the landscapes—many barely touched by humans— and acquired a wealth of invaluable experience, from arranging travel and selecting the best bike to what to pack for each climate and terrain, and how to choose and navigate your route. Part travelogue, part practical guide, this exhilarating account divides the stages of Cunningham’s tour into five chapters, each focusing on a geographical environment: forest, desert, mountain, tropical, and urban. Packaged in a travel-friendly format, this combination of practical text and inspiring photography will appeal to every bike adventurer.
