mmm think you might run into a bit of traffic that way and there is a very sharp right hand bend dropping towards Kettleshulme, could be slippy,
might be better doing a right turn at the top of the brickworks and turning left just after the Highway Man to get to the Goyt

Blimey potsy, I would have thought Long Hill was a doddle compared with a lot of the stuff you guys regularly ride up. Don't know how steep Goyts Lane is but Long Hill has a maximum gradient of around 4%.
We are coming up to recce Long Hill before the National, not sure yet whether Helen will ride a her TT bike or normal road bike. One thing is for sure, any support will be very much appreciated [Fossy will confirm this], it really helps a rider on a hill climb, now if you could just position yourselves every few hundred metres......

Every few hundred metres - it's gonna take a fair few of us.
Jenkins Chapel is a bugger as the gradient keeps changing - 1 in 4 probably at steepest, then less, then steep - it's a killer for that reason.
Goyts Lane is steep, but the same gradient - TBH only ever gone down it - it's one of those that you feel like you are being sucked down it.
Long Hill is great - proper drag that you can get into a good rhythm.
