^ indeed, RedBike your link shows Sutton Bank and if they're going there from Macc, you're in trouble

Short notice for me or I'd have been very tempted.

With various directions on the route map telling me to turn up xxx hill or 'go up the climb' Your comment had got me more than a little worried about this.

It turns out there wasn't really any hills. It was more or less as flat as you could ever wish for all day!

not big ones, but plenty of nasty ones after a long day in the saddle. probably a mistake for me to go equipped with a bike with 42x25 as the lowest gear, when i prefer to spin up them.

Hi Red Bikes. I can't put a face to the name but I have taken the liberty of linking to your 3loops RR from Macc Wheelers Forum 'EVENTS' board.
Thanks for your kind remarks.

If you look under the mapping controls on the right there's a little check box that says Elevation Profile. Putting a tick in there shows the gradients.

It looks scary until you actually read the scale.
