Sometimes my commute home. Can get quite busy at rush as a cut through. It is straight with good vision so no mtter how slow you end up.it still feels safe. Lots of false flats to recover from the really steep bits. A nice challenge.... read more

Starts with a very steep ramp that once done winds upwards towards the main road to Llandough. Two further steeper parts follow. Need to keep pushing to break 6 minutes.
