New year, new climb? Ish. Cyclist issue 122 takes us back to the mighty Mont Ventoux, except this time we’re leaving the crowds in the 2010s and in true 20s style discovering the Giant of Provence’s hidden gravel roads.
Also this month we catch up with the fastest couple in cycling Joss Lowden and Dan Bigham as they reflect on a record breaking year and preview an exciting follow-up.
We also have pro photographer Pauline Ballet’s collection of her race photography over the past few years and look at what’s to come in 2022 with Cherie Pridham, Ethan Hayer and all the transfer lowdown.
While the beast is in hibernation, we celebrate the epic return of the Etape Loch Ness and can’t help but get swept up by the occasion.
It’s also a gravel clean sweep as Festka’s new super stiff Scout gets a full review as well as the BMC Roadmachine X and Basso Palta II.
