Seven things only Yorkshire cyclists know
1. Rosedale Chimney is the hardest climb in the known world
"Well ok, Rosedale (T'chimney) might not be the hardest climb in the word, but it is certainly harder than anything in Lancashire. With gradients as much as 33% it was even avoided by organisers of the Tour de Yorkshire for fear that if it was, a minor rebellion might have broken out. To those unfamiliar with the climb, but familiar with 90s television, it is best described as the 'Travelator' x1000." http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/...ts-know-204396 |

Why not grade the roads a little better? Roads in the Alps are much easier.. Bret Cahill |
