Why do road cyclists go to the mountains? After all, cycling up a mountain is hard – so hard that, to many non-cyclists, it can seem absurd. But, for some, climbing a mountain gracefully (and beating your competitors up the slope) represents the pinnacle of cycling achievement. The mountains are where legends are forged & cycling’s greats make their names. Many books tell you where the mountains are, or how long & how high. None of them ask ‘ Why?’ Why are Europe’s mountain ranges professional cycling’s Wembley Stadium or its Colosseum? Why do amateurs also make a pilgrimage to these high, remote roads & what do we see & feel when we do? Why are the roads there in the first place? Higher Calling explores the central place of mountains in the folklore of road cycling. Blending adventure & travel writing with the rich narrative of pro racing, Max Leonard takes the reader from the battles that created the Alpine roads to the shepherds tending their flocks on the peaks, & to a Grand Tour climax on the ‘highest road in Europe’. & he tells stories of courage & sacrifice, war & love, obsession & elephants along the way. ...

This is real cycling, where the glory is & where dreams come true. So said Bradley Wiggins when, after years of huge success on the track & in time trials, he reached the summit of Mont Ventoux in the 2009 Tour de France alongside the best in the business. Mountains are where professional cycling`s legends are forged & its greatest heroes make their names. Every amateur rider too wishes they could climb better, but what is it about mountains that enthrals them? Are they addicted to the pain? To the achievement? Or to the allure of the peaks? Some spend their weekends ` Everest-ing`, some a summer holiday cycling up mountains from start to finish. But how does a rider push themselves beyond their limits to get up a 10 per cent gradient on pedal power alone? What is happening when they do? Getting High is an exploration of the central place of mountains in the folklore of road cycling, of the mystique that surrounds the grimpeurs, or climbers, & why amateurs feel compelled to follow them. Interweaving adventure & travel writing with the rich narrative of the Grand Tours, Max Leonard speaks to the riders who conquered the summits & encounters stories of courage & sacrifice, war, love, obsession & elephants. ...
