    Tips

    September 1, 2021

    This section up Kirk Dale and through Sheldon is an iconic road climb in the Peaks. Approximately 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long and with an average gradient of 7.2%, it is not out of this world. However, some sections are rather steep and the climb seems to go on and on. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with gorgeous views and untold picturesque country lanes. If you can smash it in under eight minutes, you are on fine form.
