If you received a carbon beauty for Christmas, you’ll be itching to get yourself up the nearest hill to test just how much the lightness of your bike improves your speed. And here at TWC, we want you suffer-junkies to have a great time.
So we’ve put together this list of some of the UK’s best gradients in order to get you huffing and puffing all the way to the top. They may not be Ventoux, but they’ll certainly challenge your lungs. We’ll be waiting for you at the top, holding a polka dot jersey.
