    I rode it yesterday.

    One BIG hill - about a quarter mile long at 10-15% I'd say. Will sort the field out sharpish. May not hurt you the first few times, but by lap 8 your legs should be burning!

    If it's wet on the day - may be hard getting traction going up it!


    There was a headwind going up with main carriageway yesterday - but it's an up and back so you'll get a tailwind the other way. (Where Sandy Lane joins Warrington Road, you turn left, go all the way up the the roundabout, then all the way back down to Acton Lane, make a left and climb the hill.)
