What's the name of the book on big climbs?
I think the author was on here promoting a few months ago but I can't find it in
my searches. The book listed like the top 100 climbs around the world or something
like that. It had info on the climb, things to see in the area, accommodations and
such what.
Any help would be great.
thanks
Shayne

There was a review of that book in the latest Velonews. I can't remember the name of it though.
[Edit: Maybe not the "latest" edition, but a recent edition.]

I bought it and its not bad. But it should be labled. The Guide to Climbing by bike for California, Colorado and New England.
The coverage of the Appalachain region of the country is a bit week.

+1. Literally half of the climbs are in CA.
