Samenvatting
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.

Over Dirk Vissers
I was born in the flat part of Flanders, Belgium, not far from the city of Antwerp.
As a kid I started with cross country running races at the age of 11, and later track & field and running half and full marathons.
I was already into cycling when I was very young, with heroes like Eddy Merckx, Herman Van Springel and Lucien Van Impe.
On the age of 38, I bought my first racing bike, and combined marathon running with cycling in the mountains.
Finally, one of my childhood dreams came true, as I climbed the Alps by myself. The famous Col du Galibier was the first big legend I conquered.
In these 20 years, I climbed more than 300 different hills and mountains in over 13 diffe- rent European countries ... And my list is still counting.
As this book is written out of my own experi- ence, I try to give other cyclists inspiration to discover climbs with the bike.
There will come a sequel in a few years, with more climbs to discover.
Enjoy this TOP 100 with all of your cycling heart!
