Yep come along. Prob set off at 5.30 - 6 from home.
-
Can do - what time ?
-
Weather didn't look great up there, so just did Disley, up that hill out of it and then up to Pott Shrigley and back through Cheshire. Rain held off which was nice.
Energy cakes look great, got to be better than SiS/Hi-5 shite.

Next wednesday ?

we could enter this!!!
Sunday 18th OctoberV9916 (Cragg Vale)
Last years event saw perhaps the biggest entry in the north outside of the Nationals. 70 riders (including eventual National Hillclimb Champion, Matt Clinton) were lured by the chance of riding the countries longest continuous ascent! The climb starts in Mytholmroyd, and although not very steep (and therefore suitable for tandems), does climb for nearly 5 miles. So for a hillclimb, you get a lot racing for your entry money!
**Start: **2.00pm
Headquarters: TBC
Course Description:
Start on Cragg Road, Mytholmroyd (B6138), approx. 0.5 miles south of railway bridge, at telegraph pole no.2, adjacent to entrance to Townson & Thornber (Oils & Lubricants). Proceed south on B6138, through Cragg Vale, to Finish at southern end of wooden fence over drain, on lefthandside of road, and opposite wooden signpost for Whiteholme Reservoir, and Pennine Way, approx 0.5 mls north of junction with A58. (4.812 mls).
Entry Fee: £6.50 / £13.00 Tandems

Tuesday OK then ?
Yeah we could give that hill climb a go, it's on the Rochdale route isn't it, so we can get some practice in.

Next year
-
I wouldn't worry about the gradients, again that map has an anomaly, where the 200% (???) bit takes you over a tree.......
-
Oh and I'll do an early start at work next Tuesday, so we can set off for that Rochdale ride from 4pm to get a train.
-
Can do, I'll be home for 5ish, so I'll text you and we'll see how the weather is.
