In particular, I have built an app that lets you easily look up information on 750 well-known climbs across the country.
If you save it as a bookmark or put a shortcut on your home screen, you can easily look up a climb's distance, average gradient, elevation gain, start point, finish point and so on from your phone anytime, anywhere.

The text above is content I keep posting on my blog, and since it seems many people here are taking part in the Gran Fondo, I am sharing it.
I hope everyone taking part finishes safely without accidents.
