From the B6319 at the bottom, this minor road climbs steeply upwards towards Haydon alongside the aptly-named Cruel Sike. The cyclists are participating in the H100, a formidable test of man and machine, which over the course of 100 kilometres seeks out every steep hill (up or down) on either side of the South Tyne.
