Parbold hill.....ewwww you bugger

[coco69]

Me and hills do not go but was feeling energised today so give it a go....made it to the top and found how to do an ave speed of 8mph lol

 

[Houthakker]

Would that be coming from the Burscough side?
Well done. stiff climb that

 

[coco69]

Yes...the hard way, you are indeed correct..its certainly stiff, as are my legs

I like that hill, I always stick that in on the return leg when I go over to Southport.

Oooh have to have a look at this one. Been over to Crank Hill for the last two Sundays and over Winter have been going up towards Chorley to get some hills.

You might want to try hunters hill and Roby Mill as well.

Parbold hill. tried and failed once. i was actually annoyed coz i had inadvertently got to within 50 metres of the top but i gave up!

Distant memories - Parbold, Billinge and Frodsham, from a long, long time ago.
Did I get to the top? Must have done, or did I?

And I have an even older memory - Some kind of summer fete at Parbold and going there on the back of my dad's bike in a child's seat. I was 3 ish and it must have been 1952 or 1953 and I remember being on the back and my hat blew off and they all made such a fuss. Can't remember anything else, except for they used to keep reminding me of the day.

That's my local hill part of my every day ride when i'm fit (ie not at the moment) I'll usually do the Beacon and then Parbold from the steep side as part of a 30 miler.

That little kick past the Church is nasty

 

[roadrash]

the other one that runs parralel with it over asshurst beacon is a bit of a bugger too

 

[bornagainst]

I never seem to go up Parbold on the main road much, prefer to turn off and head up Stoney Ln or go up Ashurst Beacon instead.. Or both if it's a good day.

Either way, average speed is not something I ever worry about!
