Top 100 Cycling Climbs has been a STAPLE book for anyone wanting to explore - or avoid - some of the best climbs in the UK, Europe and beyond.
Simon Warren, the author of this little powerhouse of a book, rates and photographs each of which he think class as the top 100 climbs in the UK.
It's been 16 years since that book was released, and it's being re-released with updated sections, pages and as Simon loves, a shiny Hill triangle :)
We met up to ride a loop around the stunning - but tough - Winnat's Pass. Number 33 in his book. We met up to talk about climbs, his story and how his little book has saved people's lives.... something he never thought it would.
