Each autumn, a certain section of the cycling population climb aboard their superlight climbing bikes and participate in one of cycling's must-see spectacles. Hill climb season is upon us. Here we explore a uniquely British race discipline that predates modern cycle racing.
The Women's Tour of Britain is the UK's most prestigious international women's race and is back with an Oxfordshire Grand Départ on Monday the 4th of October. Drops-Le Col sponsored by Tempur continental cycling team has been ever-present in the UK's longest-running women's stage race since its inception in 2014. The team will once more look to brighten up the peloton aboard their eye-catching Endurance SL R team bikes.
