Not quite in the city but does start just of a street with houses on and this category does need more entry’s.
Right first challenge with this climb is finding it and for that i will only provide the map above, which believe it or not may not be sufficient for many. I feel this could be a hidden secret which I am going to ruin by highlighting (or over I am over egging the reach of this blog !!!).
Other challenges to overcome include, the road surface (terrible) and the presence of mud and farm debris which can lead to wheels turning but going nowhere. An interesting problem on a 19% incline.
This climb has a lovely couple of bends which don’t reveal the upcoming incline until right at the last moment.
STATS
- Average incline 8%
- Max incline 19% (hit on two separate occasions)
- 219 ft if incline covered in 0.5 mile
