It's actually been explained by Carlton earlier. I think a lot of people in cycling associate Mur with being a steep climb though so it's quite tricky to stop thinking of it relating to the climblarkim said:Is it only me screaming "it's not 'the mur' it's a place called Mûr" or am I on a pedantic hiding to nothing?
