Beast of a ride today, 75 miles with Club. 7700 feet of climbing, out around Sheffield up Ringinglow, then up Rivelin / Moscar Valley to Strines. Through The Strines to Langsett, there's some nasty little hills in that bit, especially with snow and sleet on the ground! Couldn't descend at any speed cos of the surface. Cafe in Langsett then back through Strines, over to Hathersage and a quickish run up Surprise view, then over the tops and back to base. All great cycling roads, saw quite a few out round Hathersage, but few over to Langsett.
About 2 degs all the way, but a very very good workout, hardest ride I have done so far, first time I have made it up a gradient over 20% without walking,
Look forward to another trip in same locality when it's a bit drier and warmer, but a bonus to get these hilly miles done in January.
