Like the playground bully goading you, I' off this weekend to give one of these brutish cllimbs a bloody nose.

Simon has the formula exactly right for this series of books. No waffle, just another 100 climbs to tick off. The book is the perfect size with just the right amount of information for each hill.
However, I am particularly gutted that he has released this as I had just managed 60 from the last book and now my quest is made all the harder. The only downside is the pictures, which I think would definitely have benefited from having riders in them. Well done for another great guide, and I expect it won't be the last.

Many of the 'missing' climbs are now included in this second volume of another 100 greatest cycling climbs, from all around the UK, and this time the Isle of Man too.
The book is presented in the same manner as volume one, which makes it an easy to pick up read.
The only thing I would have added would have been how much traffic uses the road in question, as one in my locality is a very busy and fast road. Climbing that hill while being passed by cars doing 50+ uphill isn't pleasant.

Set in regional sections, this book provides detailed descriptions of the toughest climbs in each region.
Having climbed a number of these before getting the book I was immeadiately impressed by the accuracy and detail included. For the climbs I hadn't tried; after reading the reviews I felt more knowledgeable but a tad scared of what was to be; when I set off to try them!!!
I agreed with most ratings but felt some of the shorter, steeper ones on poor road conditions were due a higer rating. Overall a recommended reference point for any serious road cyclists book shelf.

As good as the first hundred
If you've got the first book, with hills 1-100, then you know what to expect. This book, documenting hills 101-200, is just as good.

Delighted!
Brother-in-law delighted by this, having bought him part one as a previous gift. It's a small "pocket" sized book but great for super-keen cyclists!
