100 Greatest Cycling Climbs app.jpg100 Greatest Cycling Climbs launches new app and eight-volume box set
Simon Warren has updated the 100 Climbs smartphone app to include the climbs from his second book, Another 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs. The extra climbs are available for £2.99 as an in-app purchase.
The new app, once updated on your smartphone, will add the climbs to the lists and maps with which users of the existing version will be familiar, and also now links to VeloViewer for even more in-depth analysis of each climb.
The app is available on both iTunes and Google Play.
The app update comes ahead of the publication next month of an eight-volume box set showcasing more than 500 climbs throughout Great Britain.
Scotland, Wales and Yorkshire each have dedicated volumes, with the remaining five covering regions within England – the Midlands, south-east, south-west, north-east and north-west.
As with Warren’s previous books, they contain original photography, key statistics and graphics for each of the 545 climbs, and the author’s own description and opinion of each ascent.
Published by Frances Lincoln on 5 October, the box set comprises 1,312 pages over the eight books.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Tony Blackburn? Isn't he dead yet? Why do third-rate celebs think their witterings are worth listening to?
Sounds to me like they're getting ripped off. People have thrown together Raspberry Pi hardware along with a camera (there's some excellent camera...
Would it be too simple to say the categories are based on sex, not on gender?
I had to go and look that up and can only agree with you. Quite a handsome Coat of Arms as well.
That G turn from 2km to 1km was something to boggle at, wasn't it. Cav was magnificent, the others especially Milan surprisingly faded. Lovely...
Think you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick there, testosterone is reduced by taking testosterone blockers, not by 'taking oestrogen'....
I concur GP4000 is the hardest I've ever had to mount on a rim, Ultegra wheelset in my case. Shifted the outer skin on my thumbs!...
Another one who deliberately misuses the term. Looking for trouble. Yeah because in London you have to stake out a road all day to find one offence.
Ticks a box, doesn't it?...
Normally I don't have a small enough violin for them but in this case I guess it's possible that their office / secretary / intern submitted this...
