Blackstone Edge Road Section of the B6138 between Mytholmroyd in Calderdale and the A58 at Blackstone Reservoir.
The road climbs unremittingly for over 5 miles without a pause - making it the longest road ascent in England, thus attracting cyclists from far and wide. At this point the three mile mark has been passed, with legs starting to turn to jelly for most of the two wheeler fraternity.
