right then. a big one this week. 35km loop starting and finishing, of course, at the Cork Vaults (c.f. 32km mostly flat last week). No cider stops till the end else we might not make it back!
here's the route, with elevation profile:
 
there's a couple of fairly big hills, but neither as big as that slog up to Lansdown last week (which took us up well over 200m). Once we're out of Bath it's mostly small roads, including that nice section from outside Box to Bradford we've done before, plus some really tiny roads back from Bradford that Dave and I recce'd before but didn't use for a Thursday yet.
oh yeah, and we'll go past (but not up) Prospect Place in Bathford, which is the most stupidly steep street in the area (that I know, anyway), if Mike or anyone wants to show us just how much of a man they really are 
meet at 6.15pm, will leave no later than 6.30 from the Cork.
sign up so we know who to wait for.

That first bit where the dude is pushing his bike up is not sooooo bad (I mean it is pretty horrific!) :-S ……it's the bit around the corner that's the killer, it has to be well over 45 degrees!!!

@ Jason – anything is now climbable "blagdon" style

you ridden it?
i think the second section isn't much steeper, it's just psychologically harder!
