This month we're focusing on cycling – whether you're into mountain biking, cycle-touring or simply having some great bike rides in the countryside, Cicerone offers the largest choice of cycling guides in the UK. Here are three new guides just published.

20 mountain biking routes set throughout the North Downs, from Farnham in the west to Dover in the east, as well as a route along the Downs Link, which joins the North Downs Way with the South Downs Way.

Mile-upon-mile of sinuous woodland singletrack wind through the Surrey Hills; challenging climbs and exhilarating descents abound on the steep southern escarpment; chalk, sand and earth trails criss-cross beautiful rolling downland.

Mountain Biking on the South Downs, and on the North Downs, in The Lake District, on the Pennine Bridleway and in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK, not to forget Cycling in the Peak District and Cycling in the Cotswolds, both of which while not full-on MTB guides, use quiet lanes and off-road tracks.

Further afield, there are some amazing MTB routes in our guides to Hiking and Biking Peru's Inca Trails, Mountain Adventures in the Maurienne and Chamonix Mountain Adventures. Don't overlook The Grand traverse of the Massif Central, an epic 700km route from from Clermont-Ferrand in the Auvergne to Montpellier and Sête on the Mediterranean coast.
