  Not my doing, it's Sam, the author, he's a machine! I hadn't meant to launch another book so quickly, but his work is excellent and all ready to go.

  RSF vol 2 coming on well also :-)

  Here's the Passo Gelato entry in RS Cycling in the Alps.

  If Fred says it's M (Medium), then it is likely to be pretty tough. E (Easy) is from my experience what we'd consider mainly rideable on a gravel bike, but which might involve some pushing (but not carrying).

  I've hiked Niederjoch, which also goes into the Schnalstal, which he calls D (Difficult). I wouldn't have wanted to take a bike of any sort anywhere near it.

  On the other hand the ++++ means that it's very scenic.

  If you need any more thoughts from the RS Alps book, let me know!

  We're aiming for October / November this year. (Thanks @Skülly)

  EU prices include the relevant VAT we (the senders) will have to pay by then, so no import costs for the receiver.

  If you're unsure where you'll be, choose the EU option - we'll ask for your address when it comes closer to shipping time, and if you happen to be in the UK, I can refund the difference :-)

  It’s a great film isn’t it! Ron is a legend. I wrote the words below it ;-)

  I remember when George and Donny failed to make it across on their 2015 trip, it really is no joke

  The legendary archive style and insouciance lives on. I am really loving this pair.

  Hey, yes, I'm really sorry about the shipping. (F*ck Brexit.)

  Kickstarter takes 10% on everything. So already that's £16.20. Postage to most of EU is currently about £14 (1.25kg). Then we have to pay the warehouse and buy packaging etc.

  Also, we pay your VAT. After July, we pay upfront as it is imported into the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-deta­il/-/publication/77255bf8-65cd-11eb-aeb5­-01aa75ed71a1/language-en.

  So I when I realised this I had to put the postage up slightly for the EU to cover the VAT across all potential countires. Actually we lose a bit of money…

  ps – sorry for the uber boring post

  pps – thanks for your interest in the book, it's going to be ace
