Sourhall Rd (Gauxholme to Sourhall)

This is a short 0.8 mile climb and if you have reached this point by bike you will have ridden part of Bacup Rd or all of the Todmorden Rd climbs. This climb starts tough and becomes easier as you reach the top, with an average gradient of 5.9% and maximum of 10%. At the top by the closed Dog and Partridge pub there are two options, continue right and follow the very steep descent into Todmorden Town Centre or take the preferred left turn onto Tower Casueway that provides a gateway to the A646 Burnley Rd. Climb status hard (Red).
