Ventoux, Stelvio, Shibden Wall... they all feature on our bucket list climbs
Cycling can create many a memory, whether it is teaching your child to stay upright on two wheels for the first time or that moment you get to raise your arms across the finish line of a local race.
But reaching the summit of a climb, however big or small, can bring about emotions that are very hard to compare to any other aspect of bike riding.
>>> The best #ThingsIWouldBan from cycling
We asked our social media followers what climbs that are on their bucket list, or those that they have been lucky enough to tick off.
Here are some of the best responses…
1. Chapeau x3
Mont Ventoux 3 times in one day to become a member of Club des Cingles during the 50th anniversary year of Tommy Simpsons death. #montventoux

6. The Tour is the Tour and the Tourmalet is the Tourmalet.
Col du Tourmalet with mates because….it’s the Tourmalet

7. A couple of epic days riding
8. Not many things make Alpe d’Huez seem small
9. The never ending bucket list
Some just plain beautiful and not so hard San Gottardo (Tremola), Izoard and others for relentlessly brutal, the Mortirolo.
