It's the one from Mowsley to Gumley, cracking little lane to ride on, unless the cows at the Gumley end have calves with them

I know it well, nice little climb onto it from Saddington reservoir.

Heart Attack Hill as it is known on Strava. I went from Saddington to Mowsley and then to Gumley thus avoiding that climb, though I did do the one from Smeeton Westerby side back into Saddington.

Walking up the second half hill as I know it.

Theddingworth to Sibbertoft is also a nasty one because it has a really long false flat then gradiant to the bottom of it before it kicks meaning your legs are feeling it before the real effort. The reward though is stopping to watch the gliders as Hus Bos.

I'f I'd had the time and inclination I'd have tweaked the perspective and blended the blue!
