Hill Training

This is a ride for those confident riding on roads who want to gain experience climbing a challenging hill at a very steady pace. We'll meet at the Fox House pub near Longshaw then ride along the main road to Surprise View before dropping steeply down into Hathersage. From here, we turn left along the road to Grindleford, drop down into Froggatt then engage a low gear and grind our way slowly up the main road. We will stop when necessary to have a rest/take a drink so don't worry, my pace uphill is slow! Once we reach the top at Wooden Pole, it's downhill gently back to Foxhouse. Bring plenty of fluids as its a slow steady slog and a snack too just in case extra energy is required. Dont forget a puncture repair kit/spare inner tube and pump. Look forward to seeing you then.
