This book not only gives great insight into some of the great cycling destinations and trips in Europe, it's author has such a sense of humor that it makes a great, fun read, even if you're not planning a cycling trip. Author Jerry Soverinsky seems to have the rare combination of a love for cycling, and a great sense of humor that passes along the enthusiasm for the sport as well as for the great traveling experience. I'd recommend it highly. Great Read! Great Ride!
The author's humor, combined with his obvious intense knowledge of the European countryside make for a great read! Whether you cycle or not, the humorous stories will entertain you and make you smile.
I bought this book to help plan a 10th anniversary
trip for me and my wife in Italy. It was perfect--the
routes, suggestions, etc., etc. But what really
struck me was the humorous voice that Soverinsky uses
and the liberal amount of really hilarious stories.
For instance, there's a photo of a bunch of people in
sleeping bags at a campground. And the caption reads:
"If you ask me, nothing beats camping in Europe.
Except, of course, a nice hotel room." Really great
stuff. I've shared it with friends who have no
interest in cycling but who've laughed out loud at the
short stories and photo captions.
This is not your typical guidebook. It's informative
AND entertaining.
