A special challenge for those who are too boring the driveway on the Great Island Mountain on the cobblestone street with their 10-12%.
The road surface makes it in addition to the slope also not easy. Especially on the steepest part of the asphalt is in bad condition and partly covered with loose stones. Every autumn, the surrounding larch forest provides a needle blanket. When wet, you should not even try it ...
A correct weight distribution is therefore necessary so that on the one hand the rear wheel does not spin, but at the same time the front wheel remains on the ground.
You do not have to worry about the many pedestrians on the way at weekends. They become aware of you by their own gasp from afar and clear the way.
From the average gradient of almost 17% to 800m you should not be fooled. If one starts with single-digit percentages, the incline increases almost continuously. The 20% mark is cracked after about 300m. For about 150m it is then 21%. Then the slope goes back to 18-19% for 200m. In this area you should try to recover somehow, because the hardest part is yet to come. The slope continues to increase and reaches its maximum value of 33%, just before you reach the normal road to the island mountain. If you ever have to set foot here, you have no chance to drive.
Respect for all who make their way in one go!
