It begins by a farm and that impression of it being narrow is spot on and if you&#8217;re unlucky enough to meet any vehicles coming the other way then you&#8217;re likely to be off the bike to let them through.  If they&#8217;re behind you then either they&#8217;ll be very frustrated with you for riding or, again, you&#8217;ll be off the bike to let &#8217;em past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It begins innocently enough past the houses &#8211; the road rises steadily, until you reach &#8216;the countryside&#8217;, at which point the road turns quite a sharp right and points skywards rather more significantly.

It&#8217;s not as bad as it seems; yes the gradient goes up into the teens, but it really doesn&#8217;t last all that long: just beyond the left hander, in fact.  Ignore your legs and lungs to keep your eyes on the prize and it&#8217;ll not take you long to reach it and, from thereon the road flattens before, finally, dropping down to the junction onto the road from Chollerford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good job &#8211; it&#8217;s a nasty little kick, this one, if you&#8217;re not expecting it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are any other road climbs you&#8217;d like me to take on, the more ridiculous the better, then please send me a message on my FaceBook page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wheelygoodcycling\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wheelygoodcycling\/<\/a> or email me on <a href=\"mailto:wheelygoodmail@gmail.com\">wheelygoodmail@gmail.com<\/a> and let me know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Rosebank\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_4myzqufvAeY\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4myzqufvAeY\/maxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4myzqufvAeY\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT3M51S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-01-14T08:43:52.000Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_4myzqufvAeY\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4myzqufvAeY\/maxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Rosebank<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4myzqufvAeY\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4myzqufvAeY\/0.jpg?resize=640%2C340&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Rosebank\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"A locals rat-run around Fourstones - more information here: https:\/\/wheelygood.info\/?p=247 Strava Segment: https:\/\/www.strava.com\/segments\/2977419 Wheelygood Rating: Easy Length: 0.34 miles Avg. gradient: 8%\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/wheelygood.info\/?p=247\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  <hr class=\"footnotes\"><ol class=\"footnotes\" style=\"list-style-type:decimal\"><li id=\"fn1-247\"><p >And, yes, this should be written in large, friendly, letters on the cover&nbsp;<a href=\"#rf1-247\" class=\"backlink\" title=\"Return to footnote 1.\">&#8617;<\/a><\/p><\/li><li id=\"fn2-247\"><p >Adams, Douglas (1979). <em>The Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em>.
