'New Routes in Europe'
A talk about some new mountain roads on the Continent from the cyclist's point of view
NEVILL WHALL
Nevill Whall is a well-known Continental bicycle tourist. During the course of his travels he has crossed no fewer than ninety-seven Alpine passes. Each winter he lectures on his tours, and writes about them in the cycling Press under his pen name of ' Hodites '.
His talk this evening will deal with his crossing of the two newest passes in Europe. One is the Glocknerstrasse, in the Austrian Alps, rising to well over 8,000 feet. The other is the Col de l'lseran in the Tarentaise Alps of France. When completed, this will be the highest pass in France, and one of the highest in the world.
