Closing in and picking off the odd climb! I was a little apprehensive today as I was
heading to the east, and they had taken a hammering on the snow front mid-week.
However, BBC travel said all was well, so off I set in search of two more
ticks.
First up was Peth Bank.
This was a straight-forward climb from
Lanchester- steep to start, a couple of zig-zags , a false flat and then the
top.
From there it was on to Elsdon and the “Winters Gibbet”. A great name
and highly appropriate on a cold December day. No hanging around here!
The descent was precarious, and reminded me of some of the climbs at
the start of the year. At one stage I was riding on the opposite side of the
road to avoid the frozen surface.
(Hopefully there won’t be any more snow before I do the Welsh climbs at
the end of term.)
6 miles, 200 m of ascent.
