80 Minute Cycle Training Ride ~ The Cat & Fiddle Climb From The Harder Direction

This is the longer, in places much steeper, route towards Buxton & the Cat & Fiddle. The full climb takes me an hour. It starts from Bosley crossroads & within minutes the road starts to climb. I have only time stamped the main segments but there are a couple more nasty bits. 0.01 5 Minute warm-up music with Veloviewer graphic 6:20 After a short drop the hard part "Short Dumbers" begins. 2.0 km at 6.2% with a maximum over 13%. Whilst us mere mortals may struggle with this section, I remember watching the Tour of Britain ride it on TV. From the helicopter shot, we saw Tim Declercq, of the Quick Step team, ride no handed taking off this rain jacket. I should have looked for a clip. 24:05 Further on comes the long 36 minute drag towards the top & the Cat & Fiddle. 9.0 km at 3%. The maximum gradients, two over 16% are at the start of the climb. 1:00:20 After reaching the Cat there is a respite with an 11km descent towards Macclesfield. 1:14:05 Outro, warm down music Click on this link if you want to see this climb from Macclesfield back to the Cat.    • 60 Minute Cycle Training ~ England's Longe...   🚴‍♂️ INDOOR CYCLING COMPATIBILITY: The video is recorded in 4K with precise metric telemetry data.
