Concord Sports Centre’s overflow car park, Shiregreen Lane, S56AE, 10pm
After the 20-mile, warm-up ride, which starts from the same place at 10pm, we are going to cycle up what I find to be a very easy climb to the very top of the Cote de Jenkin, which was the final hill climb during the grandest of Grande Departs. Next, we can admire amazing views of the Lower Don Valley and the iconic Steelworks before cycling past one of the best boxing gyms on the planet.
