It’s a weird one. 400m of shallow / false flat, 500mm of steep but good tarmac, then a 1km false flat drag to the finish. Smash the first half and try and hang on / build up some momentum on the top section.
It’s on Sunday by they way. A friend of mine made the same mistake early in the season, I didn’t correct him in an email and he missed the race!
I've just had a look at the HC a few of us are doing on Saturday near Alton. 1.9 km long, and doesn't get over 13%.
A very different climb to the short, sharp ones I've been doing recently! Might not even make it into the little ring 😉
