Joffrey   10 #1 Posted July 11, 2012 I'd like to make a cycle route that is going to pass the 7 hills in and around Sheffield. Has anyone already done this?  I have already seen a thread on this forum regarding where those hills are so I think I can do it myself. Just a bit pointless if it's already done by someone else.  Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I haven't been all the way to Rivelin from Malin Bridge but I assume there's a climb on Rivelin Valley Road at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Joffrey   10 #3 Posted July 11, 2012 I drafted this:  http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=5555253  based on the Seven Hills thread and the bottom picture on  http://mdfs.net/Docs/Sheffield/Hills/  Just need tweak it a bit in the north I think. This is going to get interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
