Hi, your not kidding, my first ride for a long time, went over Crank, down Shaley Brow, and then back through Crank and up past Fairfield Hospital, thought I was going to die on that climb! Any good local routes you can recommend to ease us into the many hills around here?
Yeah, Crank must be a killer. Never done that.
A good route for you might be the one I mentioned that I go through Billinge on. Check this out. It's a GPX file which you should be able to open up in Google Earth and will plot the route out on there for you. It's a circular of about 20 miles. Hits a few busy roads though so not sure that's what you're looking for.
If you can't read the file, let me know and I'll write a bit of detail out for you.
