Agreed hills are always more fun that flat, but some of those profiles make me want to reach for another bit of cake and chose the car option

And I've seen countless talk over the years of the 100 greatest climbs book, thats just fattist. What about the 100 greatest descents book, us fatties need a niche?. As a cyclist I want very different things from a climb and a descent, so it seems obvious to me that cycling down the 100 greatest climbs may not be the 100 greatest descents, yet still nothing on the latter?

Ever since I've been watching the TDF on the tellybox I've wanted to do some of those epic Alpine 40km descents, how amazing must that be, I can't comprehend the joy of going downhill for that long, definitely on my bucket list.

kind regards, Booze & Cake, a gifted descender trapped in Londinium.

I got passed up a big hill by some riders from Scunthorpe CC on a weekend holiday in the Peak District. Linconlnshire! The shame
