Le Mont Ventoux - Notebook
Because inspiration doesn’t wait for you to be at your desk.
All The Handmade Cyclist’s designs start life as a sketch in a notebook. A shape, a line, a story. Pen, pencil, or whatever was to hand. Thoughts, ideas, plans. A great notebook is a companion, a colleague and a confidante.
Our beautiful notebooks feel as good as they look, with a luxurious and durable soft-touch cover (don’t be surprised if you can’t stop stroking them) and with 96 pages there’s month's worth of doodling to be done. The ideal size to fit in a jacket pocket or bag, with an elastic closure to keep things tidy. A great gift for the cycling fan if your life, or a perfect treat for you.
The Routes: The great roads and rides of cycling. Iconic mountains, stunning scenery, the greatest challenges of the sport. The essence of some of the most iconic theatres in cycling, the roads on which the greats fought and reputations were forged.
Le Mont Ventoux, 'The Giant of Provence'. The mountain the Tour de France peloton fears most.
Rearing nearly 2000 metres up from the forests of Provence to the famous observatory at the summit, Ventoux is brutal, steep, direct. The bare rocks of the moonscape landscape at the summit bake in the July sun, where the hopes of many a coureur lay dashed.
