No posts for nearly a year, the forgotten thread. Cross-post from the weekend ride thread:

Legs said no on the climb to Pym's Chair from Jenkins Chapel, so I got
the rare chance to take pictures on a weekend ride.

First time I've ridden this as a loop, the combo of Blaze Hill, Pike
Low, Jenkins Chapel is punishing, very little recovery time and all
steep enough (for me at least) to deny gently spinning up them.

Redemption of sorts by surviving the climbs of Whalley Lane and the
hill I know as unnecessary hill in Disley both used to avoid the A6
tourist traffic.

Nice ride. Pym’s Chair is tough from all three directions but the Jenkins Chapel climb is quite brutal. Fun descent past Windgather though.

It was fun, if tough. I've not been back since to right the wrong of stopping. I'd probably take the right halfway down Windgather next time to cut out Kettleshulme.
