Should you ever find yourself in Crewe, don’t bother with standing around at the station – come for a ride with my club, the Crewe Clarion Wheelers …

I had to tick off the cobbled climbs, but I won’t be going back in a rush.

Thwaites Brow is really tough. The cobbles are particularly cobbly, If it’s raining – don’t even try.

Fantastic fun though, totally different to anything else locally.

I’ve no plans to do all 200 but have found myself drawn to all the big 7/10s and up. Yorkshire’s next, which seems to account for about 100 of the hills! I think the technical term for people such as us is “nutters”.

Certainly don’t fancy the cobbles though, so bravo for those. I know the romance but just can’t bring myself to weave up them. We have tarmac now people and our bikes are no longer made of wood!
