2h 17m
PART 2: A big decent from Blackstone Edge Reservoir then over the Cote de Ripponden at 252m, then the Cote de Greetland at 200m and cross under the M62 and drop down into Huddersfield. Gradually gaining elevation on the far side of Holmfirth (Last of the Summer Wine) is the big one, Cote de Home Moss 521m and at the top you’re into Derbyshire. The ride down to Woodhead Reservoir is Fast (capital F) and you’ll still be pumped up on the long steady climb over the moors and down the other side. It’s climb after climb all the way to Sheffield now, Midhopestones 341m, Bradfield 350m, Oughtibridge 241m. Lots of hairpins and steep gradients before finally descending into Sheffield and the finish. Due to traffic restrictions the last few kms in Sheffield has not been filmed.
