Publisher's Synopsis
After a failed relationship, Robbert decides to make a cycling trip to Italy. On a spring day he cycles away from the south. Through the Ardennes and the countryside of France, he crosses the Alps and he ends up eventually in San Remo. The punctures, the loneliness and the infernal tunnels are in stark contrast to the euphoria that he feels after climbing the Alped'Huez, the Lautaret and Galibier. Robbert Valkenburg (1983) has a great passion for sports and travel. He made his bicycle trip to Italy in the spring of 2012 and kept a diary that became this book. This book is his first.
