Event information
<p> </p> <h1>The 2018 Magnificent Seven</h1> <p>The Magnificent Seven is a unique cycling event, the first of its kind in Sheffield. Not for the fainthearted, the race is a cross between a sportive and a hill climb, that invites participants to face seven of the city’s toughest hills.</p> <p>The 2018 route, which is just over 26 miles long, presents each rider with over 4,200ft of climbing, with inclines ranging from 9 to 23 per cent.</p> <p>So how does it work? Cyclists ride with motorbike escorts and a lead car between each of the seven hills, where the riders then gather at the bottom of each climb before racing for points to the summit. The first 15 to the top then receive points which count towards the grand prize of being crowned King or Queen of the Mountains, for which the winners receive a trophy.</p> <p>Both men and women are encouraged to ride with equal prize money for both categories and there’s also a prize for the over 40 year old riders, as the fastest veterans are awarded points and battle for a separate prize list.</p> <p>Each of the seven climbs will be subject to a full road closure managed by Sheffield City Council, giving the competitors the unique chance to race up traffic-free closed roads, something only professional riders normally have the opportunity to do.</p> <p>The ride is aimed at local amateur club riders and all entrants will receive refreshments before and after the ride, culminating with a prize-giving presentation at the end of the event. Each rider will also receive a free cycling cap for their efforts, while cow bells will again be handed out to spectators along route to help cheer the riders along the tough climbs.</p> <p>This is now the third running of this unique event so the field is limited to just 130 cyclists, with the minimum age being 16 to enter. The event will also start and finish in Bradfield for the first time this year to allow more entries and more space for parking.</p> <p> </p> <h2>The Magnificent Climbs</h2> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb 1 - Mill Lee Road</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 8:45am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 8:46am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 3:52 - Women 4:56</p> <p> </p> <p>> 24 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb 2 - Stephen Hill</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 9:25am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 9:26am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 3:34 - Women 4:59</p> <p> </p> <p>> 6 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb - 3 Blake Street</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 9:47am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 9:48am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 25 secs - Women 43 secs</p> <p> </p> <p>> 8 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb 4 - Fern Road & Thrush Street</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 10:06am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 10:07am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 1:02 - Women 1:19</p> <p> </p> <p>> 20 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb 5 - Birch House Avenue</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 10:36am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 10:37am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 3:00 - Women 5:00</p> <p> </p> <p>> 16 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Climb - 6 Back Lane & Moor Road</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 11:06am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 11:07am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 3:00 Women 5:00</p> <p> </p> <p>> 14 minute social ride in between climbs</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>7 Cote de Bradfield</strong></p> <p>Men Start at 11:34am</p> <p>Women & Vets Start at 11:35am</p> <p>Fastest on Strava: Men 1:51 - Women 2:32</p> <p> </p> <p>FINISH APPROX 11:40am.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The full route is here:<br /><br /></strong><strong><a href="http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1927773173" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/1927773173</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <h2>The Magnificent Points</h2> <p>All of the seven climbs will have the same number of points on offer and points gained over all of the climbs will go towards a final total to determine the winner and placings.
