Preview: Cheshire Cat - 30 Mar

Next weekend it's off to Cheshire for the first long sportive of the year. It's 155km (just short of 100 miles - similar distance to the Etape)

However at about 1000m of climbing it's a fairly flat route:

With the exception of 'Mow Cop', also known as 'the killer mile. The first half is a steady 10% (1:10), the second half a ridiculous 25% (1:4). If you don't know what that looks like....
At this stage of the year, I'll be happy with 8h00 for the course (if the weather's ok). It would be nice to get up Mow Cop non-stop (there's a medal if I can).

You're fat, and you're weak, and you know it.
