Good Climbs - SCC Amber Ride

Cycling Route

Details
75.81 km
1,637 m
Every year you set yourself a challenge of completing some monster sportive and probably every year you turn up wishing you’d done some more climbs!! This route has been carefully planned to find some of the steepest little beauties in this part of Yorkshire. So, come along and retrace some of the 2017 le Tour de Yorkshire sportive route and get your legs hill ready. Heading out North from HQ towards Ecclesfield we begin our first accent of the day via Whitley up to Genoside. Descending Jawbone down into Oughtibridge where start our first tough climb of the day up the Wheel Lane. After descending into Wharncliffe Side we climb out towards Wigtwizzle before passing round Broomhead Reservoir and climbing up to Bolsterstone. Without much rest we crack onto complete the hardest climb of the day Pea Royd Lane. Now it’s mostly decent down to have tea with the Countess. After refuelling at the café, we don’t get much warmup before heading up Hermit Hill. After Descending into Elsecar we climb out on the new smooth tarmac of Linthwaite Lane past Hoober and onto Hooton Roberts where we make the last accent of the day up into Ravenfield. This Ride has several long climbs, but the ride will be for everyone looking to get in shape for any hilly ride.
