Im still chasing club points so most my weekends is booked up till November though I want to take a year off and just do more social rides and go slow touring so hopefully I will be doing more social rides if I don't get caught up in the points system again >>>>>>>>>

So hopefully I'll be doing more forum rides :smile:

See you all on the road soon hopefully

Hmmm. Brickworks, windgather, goyts lane. Now there is a route.

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, :whistle: 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 :evil: :evil:

Thats the easy bit at the top btw!
 
Easy :whistle:

Are you lot trying to scare me off then?

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. :whistle:

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.
