The couple of times I have done it I have found the descent from the top of the Snake really unsatisfying. After the initial drop the road just seems to meander up and down so you don't get the massive long, uninterrupted, descent that you get, for example from the Isle of Skye or the adrenaline rush you get from descending Holme Moss.
I'll keep an eye out on this thread to see what you all decide, but probably won't opt in. Due to a combination of snow, ice, colds, mountaineering weekends and various kids illnesses - including a fortnight in hospital for my youngest - I have only been on bike twice since the Holme Moss loop - and I was not remotely bike fit then! I think I would be a bit of a liability.
Also I am off to the Lakes and Scotland the next few weekends so might not be free.
Strines Moor is a pig, although I have always been quite tired when I got there, so maybe I have an exagerrated view of how steep it gets?
