gf was doing the Hell on t' Hills Duathlon today so I tagged along and did my usual trick of going round the bike route backwards. This involved leaving Honley, rolling out through New Mills, popping through Hepworth and then working my way over to Dunford Bridge and onto the Woodhead Pass. After that it was a trip over Holme Moss and down through Holmfirth back to Honley.
Did it on fixed and very glad I went that way round because I'm pretty certain I would never have made it up Holme Moss the other way round, even with a paltry 65" gearing.
Legs hurting now.
