Curves

Days away from riding my new custom build bike by Elian Cycles (later more on that) I found these images shot for the first issue of Curves Magazine. The magazine is dedicated to Route des Grandes Alpes. A route through the Alps to the Mediterranean, crossing 16 high alpine passes on the way. Nine of these passes are at an altitude of more than 2,000 metres, including the highest road pass in the whole of the Alps, the Col de l’Iseran at an elevation of 2,770 metres. Covering a distance of some 700 kilometres, the Route overcomes a height difference of altogether 15,700 metres. It counts as one of the most breathtaking routes in the world and I just can’t wait to start riding them! Truly amazing pictures!
