I didn't check the route beforehand, so am desperately trying to fit some hills in between now and 6th May!
Looks like it'll be a challenge....
I've looked at this a few times and really fancy it, just been put off at the moment by the amount of climbs!!
I know all the climbs as far as Milnrow pretty well and there is nothing there I would class as big. OK, the climb up Werneth Low is Steep but otherwise the route as far as Milnrow is nothing out of the ordinary.The other week, I'd done less climbing this year than is on the route!

I don't think this is true really? The profile shows not a lot more hills after Rochdale than before to my eye.....prepare yourself for the harder half of the ride.
I read it and thought "Damn, I know my memory is getting bad but I don't remember volunteering to do that!"After a quick “light” refreshment stop, you head through Tameside and climb over towards Saddleworth, passing through Uppermill before a long steady climb to the second feed station. Here you can enjoy Colin’s hospitality and his amazing scones whilst taking in another great view.
Someone on here moved into catering?
