Printed off my entry and will be sending it tomorrow. And the weather around here seems to be getting better.

I've been told it's not too steep (Not > 15%) but pretty long for its steepness..

Sorry, but I'm sure that it gets steeper than that!aJohnson said:
I think that it is slightly easier from the Sabden side but I reckon it hits close to 20% in places. The Clitheroe side has a section at about 25%.
Here's a picture of the climb up from Sabden taken from Padiham Heights (Black Hill).

Oh my mistake, I was judging it from a friend and checked on a course creator (Those things are never right).

Hmm - I've just checked on my mapping software and according to that it only averages 11%, but there are loads of chevrons on the OS map so it must be over 14% in quite a few places. Whatever the numbers are - it's a tough little climb.aJohnson said:

Yep, and dependent on how far into the ride it'll only be tougher.

That's exactly it, the climb is sandwiched in between the climb to Padiham heights and that of Waddington Fell! A tough day out in store i think. Thanks for your comments guys, and, the fantastic picture. I feel a reckie coming on before I subject my knees to the full flavour.

Why call it a 'vintage' ride and then fail to say what the reqirements are? Do you HAVE to ride a vintage bike and if so how old must it be?
