No, it's the climb from Marske up to the ranges. Red Bank is comparatively well surfaced - and I think the sign there is 25%.

Yes, it is:

Bottom of the Devils Staircase in mid Wales.

Can't be - it's not raining.

It was an absolutely glorious day. This is the road between Abergwesyn and Tregaron going towards the Staircase. Wonderful.

With considerably more experience under my belt I should try that bit of Wales again. Tried the Elenith 300km a few years back - not a good day out on the bike.

Chalk Pit Lane Near Oxted

At the junction of CA-4 and CA-89 near Markleeville.

I like the sign just beyond it: Snow not removed beyond here.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #110 on:** 07 September, 2014, 07:07:54 pm »

I like that sort of sign when driving in USAnia. "Chain-up area ahead" is a good one. These mean SNO, SNO means hills and hills means corners and after three hours of driving across a pan-flat desert you need something like that just to wake you up

Also … someone was bored enough to stop their car, get out, and graffiti-up the poles of the sign. Maybe they weren't tall enough to reach the sign

Is that the COR version of road rash?

I had to use my parking brake as a drag brake going down that last year

.good fun both up and down

The lie at Wolsingham (it's at least 18%, but at least this one's pointing downhill):

Me and Jonathan notp climbed up that and then came back down it on a rest day when we rode some of the way of the rose's route . definitely low gear on the way up and hot and smelly drum brakes and parking/drag brake on the way down

. great fun though

I'm just trying to work out where you stopped that made riding to and climbing Park Rash seem like a good idea on a rest day?

A comparatively rare 15 percenter near Bedham West Sussex spotted today.

Which makes we wonder whether...

red marley · « **Reply #121 on:** 06 March, 2016, 10:09:14 pm »

... for the completists among us, we might try to go for the full set. Here is what we have from this thread so far. Just think of it as a more athletic version of collecting football stickers.

Ah, from the days before Panini became a poncey word for bread! But you can't stop at 40, surely you've got to go up to 100?

That is a properly lovely climb, and a bit of a shock for those parts (certainly the first time I rode that way, through the gentle countryside, it took me totally by surprise to find that hill!).

It features on what is sure to be the best 200km event starting from Richmond Upon Thames in August (see signature below for details).
