Game: Name that road!

[Sea of vapours]

No, I've not been there, but I did recently climb most of the hills labelled as 33% in the North York Moors and deduced that this must be the one from Grosmont whcih I couldn't fit nto a conveinent loop ! The 33% is a major giveaway since very few places have any of those, whereas the NYM must have bought a lorry full of them a few years back and put them anywhere which is 'pretty steep'.

I have, however, been up this next road.

Correct. Just around the corner from Great Fryup Dale, where I went after having not gone up the previous, 33% hill Back to you.

Wow, that must have been a great ride.

I have guessed too many name that roads recently, so I will give this one to someone else.

Anyone want to post a Name That Road?

wow just had two roads from my youth stamping ground. Fryup's New Way is a nice climb as, unlike Glaisdale's Common Lane / Caper Hill and Rosedale's Chimney Bank, it doesn't just go straight up the steepest part of the valley side/ end!

@Sea of vapours I hope you called in at the Cycle hub cafe for refreshments, I was there 2 weeks ago as I was back up visiting family

I didn't I'm afraid. I saw it but I was on a big loop taking in Scarborough, Whitby and then across the middle of the moors and didn't have time for stopping. New Way was certainly a very nice road, I thoiught. I did do Caper Hill and Chimney Bank though, and they are certainly .... rather direct !

Sorry...

1. Only one road at a time, chosen by the person who identified the previous one. Mike was a special case because Guy donated his turn.
2. UK roads only - for obvious reasons... (It is hard enough trying to track down roads here without having to locate a random road anywhere in the world!) If/when it is your turn, you could pick somewhere in the UK that you have enjoyed riding, or would like to come over to ride.

Damn, I was going to bag this I actually worked out what I was going to post on the train home last night. Then when I got home I completely forgot about it. Still I have my next NTR ready for when the time comes.

I'm hoping that's a village Pub within reasonable riding distance of Harrogate.

I much prefer ones that I don't have a clue about. They are easy, I just ignore them. This one, though, I had an idea I knew where it was. After wasting much time I found I was wrong.
