Heavy, humid weather. More people than usual out and about. A few mad drivers. The last 500 metres are as tough as ever. With a climb up to the river just before

Nice climb not too long. Nice views over the valley. Descent is watchful though, narrow, not too good road surface.

A great climb, short and pleasant apart from 2-3 steep sections over 100m.
