Oh nice. Where after top of Brickworks?
Edit: looks like they’ll turn right and drop down into Macc.
A trio of ŠKODA King of the Mountains climbs follow skirting below the famous skyline of Bosley Cloud and into the Cheshire Peak District, with the main climb at Bottom-of-the-Oven, a 1.7km ascent (with an average gradient of 6.9%) to just shy of the famous Cat and Fiddle.
Macclesfied, Rainow, and Adlington will all welcome the race before a second intermediate sprint at Wilmslow. The route then heads through the town of Alderley Edge and the climb of the same name and on through Chelford, Knutsford and High Legh before entering Warrington via Appleton.
The race is basically through where I grew up and where I live now. Hopefully it means some bad roads will get resurfaced. Particularly past Shrigley Hall.
Whoop whoop! Stage 5 starting Alderley Edge, and coming through Congleton (again), taking in Blacky Bank and Brickworks. I feel a day off work coming on.
