    They’d best be careful resurfacing Hound Hill. The stretches of worn stones at the edge are all that remains of a Medieval packhorse path. They used to be all over the place but that is the last example around Barnsley.

    I wonder if they put a banana between their bum cheeks to avoid chafing. Keen cyclist at work does that.

    Tour of Britain. Third stage is Sheffield to Barnsley. The OP is the names of two of the famous cyclists who'll be in the race. They'll be riding up Hound Hill and then Old Mill Lane.

    Evenepoel won both road race golds at the Olympics. Alaphilippe is a 2 time world champion. Big names in the bikeist world
    And a full day of live TV coverage of Barnsley
