100 must do climbs

This book assembles a Top 100 of marvelous and unique climbs in 13 different countries in Europe. Since I bought my first racing bike in 2003, I cycled 400 different hills in my home country, and almost 300 different hills and mountains outside of Belgium. With this book I hope to give you inspiration and enthusiasm for mountain cycling. In my opinion, it is one of the most intensive and lovely experiences you can have in life . It is sport, travelling and sightseeing combin- ed. To conquer the famous climbs from the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia of the Vuelta gives you an extraordinary satisfaction. This top 100 is composed with only climbs I did myself. It is far from complete. My dream to reach all the famous climbs in Europe is still not complete. I didn’t want to share my ex- perience of climbs I didn’t do so far. So there certainly will come a sequel in a few years with more climbs. Dirk Vissers .
