I know it is a sport for beardy types on strange and overpriced bikes, but will anybody be going to see any of it? It passes practically past my doorstep so I'll be out to watch.

That's a good idea. At least you can see them for a little while rather than a blur as they go past. do you think Sheff city council will let us write all over the road?I'm going to blow the bank on a new build ( within reason ) NOW DONE!!

Our climbs might not be the longest, but a couple will be among the steepest ever.0 -

I cant wait. My dad is a big TDF fan and the both of us are hoping to travel across to see it. I just hope no whippets are hurt during the making of the event.....0

I do a lot of riding around the Strines - but to my shame, which one is Jawbone hill? Is it the climb on Mortimer road or Kirkedge road?
The climb that goes over Ewden beck is a monster - a 20 % killer going down hill with hairpin bends over a bridge and then climbing back out at 20 %. That is really gonna liven up the race in the last 10k 0 -

It's ok they're not taking up much space! Just gimmie a bell/text whenever we get rid of the snow!0 -
Will do mate!
sfichele, Jawbone Hill (the affectionate name) is Oughtibridge lane, goes up from Ougthibridge to Grenoside. Gets very steep!

Ah gotcha,
I was thinking it was this,
https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=53.467527,-1.637535&spn=0.007383,0.019011&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=53.467527,-1.637535&panoid=5lgE90oWl-UOtfhGfMi_kw&cbp=12,359.9,,0,16.96
which is a monster and is gonna cause the peleton some real problems as it's narrow, massively steep and a hairpin bend
(oops edit, posted wrong link)0 -

Think they turn off to Bradfield before there. They do get to go down the steepest bit of Strines just after the farm.0 -
You _have_ to go that way to get to Bradfield - NB, I originally posted the wrong link so maybe we've crossed wires0

Yep the new link is the hill to which I am referring, should be a cracking day!0 -

There is a steep climb right at the end too, you probably know Jenkin hill. Urban climb, so not the best scenery though!0
