Tips

June 1, 2021

Road cycling

Best climbed from the north side as this is steeper and has a lot more bumps and potholes than the south slope so makes for a hairy descent. Descending southwards is a lot smoother although watch for oncoming cars on a couple of obstructed bends.

North section is a horrible surface and too narrow for cars to pass safely, but they come past anyway. Best avoided.
