Unfortunately I have no data or pics 📊 for this climb and rely only on memory, but it is a great climb and definitely worth doing. The city and region is very scenic, so there is always something to enjoy on the way up. Also, if I remember correctly there is a hotel/restaurant to relax after you've made it to the top ☕️ The climb itself wasn't easy. I remember the guy I went with, who invited me to climb, was an experienced cyclist who ripped up the mountain like it was nothing... read more

The climb itself wasn't easy. I remember the guy I went with, who invited me to climb, was an experienced cyclist who ripped up the mountain like it was nothing, with me arriving at the top only afterwards. But I important is that I arrived 😂
The descent I remember was great and very long 👌 I remember it was properly sweet to descend from 1000m to 0m - top speeds were definitely over 50+km/h.
At the time I had a Swiss-bought Bianchi (23mm tires) 🚲

Frequently Asked Questions

Mount Seymour is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
