andyofborg Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 West Hill just over the border in Rotherham would be a big contender. but that's in Rotherham not Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germancars Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 its got to be Jenkin road!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic3 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Blake Street is the hardest to ride up on my road bike, so I vote for that Second would be Woodfall Lane, followed by Jenkin Road. Edited July 8, 2014 by Logic3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Monday's Express stated that Jenkins Rd was very steep at 33.3%. It may be steep but I don't think a hill can be 1 in 3. I thought 1 in 4 was the steepest that could be safely navigated. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 West Hill just over the border in Rotherham would be a big contender. Not for SHEFFIELD'S steepest road it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Monday's Express stated that Jenkins Rd was very steep at 33.3%. Have they run out of stories about Diana? 30% is the maximum gradient on Jenkins Road. The average is said to be 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 There was a good website on this. Will try and find it. You first have to decide what qualifies as a road and whether its in sheffield. It would have been spectacular to have seen the TDF go up Haghill. Heres a list I found These are the Top Ten steepest hills for the Sheffield area. Hagg Hill (not old Sheffield) gradient 17.1%. Victoria Street, Stocksbridge (not old Sheffield) gradient 14.85%. Blake Street, gradient, 12.79%. Wellfield Road, gradient 12.5%. Fir Street, gradient 11.26%. Cobnar Road (top part) gradient 11.25%. Upperthorpe, gradient 11%. Winnats Pass Derbyshire (between the two Mam Tor roads) (not Sheffield) gradient 10.91%. West Hill Rotherham (from Droppingwell Rd to Poucher St) (not Sheffield) gradient 10.4%. Jenkin Road (From Tyler St/Holywell Rd to the highest part just past Forthill Road) gradient 10%.

cookingfat50 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 There's a really steep hill in Wincobank, begins with J. Can't remember the name offhand. Sheffield is like Rome and Prague - built on seven hills. your thinking of jenkin rdsrarts at the traffic lights and goes to the top of wincobank hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
