This great climb is used in the Chorley Grand Prix road race held in April. From the reservoir at Rivington it starts with a steep section to the cattle grid. You're then treated to a flat and rolling section before another steep grind to a sharp left hand corner. You're not done yet as there is a gentle rise before a final short steep kicker. Relax now on a fast descent to the main road at Belmont.
