About this app

New for 2022 and Exclusive to the App this new list of killer climbs will take you to roads and places you would not believe exist.

The 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs app is the ultimate tool to help you track down Britain’s fantastic hills in your quest to ‘Ride them all’. Complete with all the content from the best selling book and utilizing your phone’s GPS you will now be better equipped than ever to locate the greatest climbs from the Scottish Highlands all the way down to Cornwall. Plus, when synced with your Strava Subscriber account it really comes alive*. Once your ride history has been processed your home screen will proudly display your ‘100 Climbs score’, and the bigger the number, the bigger your bragging rights! You can quickly and simply check your efforts on each climb, compare times over the years and watch your total build as you keep ticking them off.

Exploring further you will see that via the interactive map you can locate and be instantly directed to the base of each climb and be taken to it’s factfile. In the factfile you will see the climb’s vital statistics together with comprehensive directions and a profile. Strava Subscribers will also see a link to your previous efforts and the ability to view it on Strava. Alternatively you can scroll the list which can be sorted by difficulty, geographically, by ridden, or best of all, by which is nearest to your current location. So no matter were you find yourself, if you have your bike and you can spare athe time you can head straight to the nearest climb on the list and bag it.

I hope you enjoy the app and it helps you complete the task, have a great time in the hills, Simon.

*Strava Subscriber account required for automatic sync. Manual climb check available without paid for Strava account.

Ratings and reviews

Seemed a great idea despite having to lose those rides I'd ridden pre Strava. First climb I had a go at 'reclaiming' was Chapel Fell which has to be one of the toughest in the country, struggled over it in rain, fog and headwind and...it didn't change a thing on the app! Still shows up as 'not ridden' despite the effort being on Strava. Read other reviews and this is a thing. Apparently sometimes it doesn't twig because you are a few metres out at the start or end although I was careful to mirror the line on the app exactly so I don't know where it thinks I missed anything. In any case Strava sees me as having ridden the exact segment which is the point. Rubbish. Whole point is for it to record climbs on your behalf and it doesn't reliably do that.

Keeps me on the streets... 😉 For those saying it doesn't count your climbs, disconnect and reconnect to Strava and it then replicates and updates after a few minutes. The app is great. Map function brill especially when driving from one climb to another with the Google Maps integration. The best thing about this app though, is the places I've been to and the views I've seen that I would otherwise never have known about. Thank you, Simon! Chapeau!

Good app. I really enjoy ticking theses off, it gives me something to aim for and helps me explore the different areas of the UK. My only problem with the app is that it won't sync with Strava unless you are a premium member and you can't sync from other ride recording apps. Also at £5.99 it's a bit steep...
