Cyclists competing in the Magnificent Seven challenge were greeted by local residents and a rainbow as they rode up Hagg Hill on Sunday.
New leaders were welcomed to St Columba’s church in Crosspool on Wednesday.
Reverend Iain Lothian is the new priest in charge and Reverend Christopher Stebbing is taking on the role of assistant curate.
The licensing and installation service was led by the venerable Malcolm Chamberlain, archdeacon of Sheffield and Rotherham.
After standing as a trustee since 1986 Gillian Drinkwater retired this month. So any queries about the trust and the hire of its premises on Coldwell Lane should go to trustee Dave Bolsover (daveb@cdyst.co.uk) or the Booking Secretary Liz Flesher (liz@cdyst.co.uk).
Hagg Hill/Stephen Hill are one of seven hills selected to be selected as part of this year’s Magnificent Seven bike challenge on Sunday 19 March.
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.
The route, which is nearly 27 miles, presents each rider with over 3,800ft of climbing, with inclines ranging from 9 to 23 per cent.
It’s expected that the roads in this area will be closed for around 30 minutes around the estimated times of 10:50-11:20am. Residents living nearby should have received a letter.
You’re encouraged to turn out on the day to support the riders.
