About the Author

Rachel Crolla is lucky enough to live a few miles from the Way of the Roses. Her early biking memories include learning the hard way how to ride up the local hills on a single-speed BMX. Having lived and cycled all her life in the White Rose county, she was thrilled to write about places which are close to her heart. Rachel started out touring on hybrid bikes, completing rides such as the Coast to Coast (C2C) and a version of the Walney to Wear (W2W). She then explored some of the region’s excellent mountain-biking terrain but in recent years has become a convert to road cycling, in which she admits to having a slow and steady approach.

As well as spending time in the saddle, Rachel also enjoys hillwalking, rock-climbing and scrambling. In 2007, she became the first woman to climb the highest peak in every country in Europe. She has worked as an outdoor writer and photographer on three other Cicerone guides.
