After a fair bit of climbing, you're rewarded with this awesome descent. The road surface is good and there's nothing too technical about it - watch out towards the bottom part though, there are some pot holes and gravel patches and it gets a bit busier with cars and people.

Fast.
Really, really fast.

But:

The incline steepens and the corners sharpen the closer you get to the bottom, so beware (especially of oncoming vehicles ascending since there isn't always passing room). Otherwise the surface is largely good and free of loose material unless there has been heavy rain, which tends to wash grit across the surface of the road. Have fun!

A nice ride down but be careful. It is narrow and usually lots of cars heading back up. The bottom section is very rough with major potholes. Many punctures on that section.
