Short climb that opens phenomenally punchy! If you are approaching from Oaker Bank, it is advisable to bring as much speed as possible at the foot of this punchy pustule: after the short left-right turn sequence, the gradient immediately peaks at 15％. My Garmin peaked at a whopping 19％! Hopefully you switched to your lighter gear quickly enough here, if not they will hear your transmission creaking all the way to Harrogate....

Short climb that opens phenomenally punchy! If you are approaching from Oaker Bank, it is advisable to bring as much speed as possible at the foot of this punchy pustule: after the short left-right turn sequence, the gradient immediately peaks at 15％. My Garmin peaked at a whopping 19％! Hopefully you switched to your lighter gear quickly enough here, if not they will hear your transmission creaking all the way to Harrogate....

After the punchy opener, the gradient stagnates towards the 9％ and the key is to push as many Watts as possible while standing (unless you've run out of gravy in your legs, in which case there's nothing you can do but stay in the saddle). As you grind down the altimeters it flattens out more and more, until you hit a pleasant spur.

The slope is famous from the 2019 UCI road cycling world championships at Harrogate. The riders did ride down this slope all the time. After all, the course they had to prepare was tough enough....

As far as I am concerned, an absolute must if you are in the area!

Korte klim die fenomenaal pittig opent! Indien je vanuit Oaker Bank komt aangereden is het aangeraden om zoveel mogelijk snelheid mee te nemen aan de voet van deze pittige puist: na de korte links-rechtse bochtensequentie piekt het hellingspercentage al meteen naar de 15％. Mijn Garmin piekte op maar liefst 19％! Hopelijk heb je hier snel genoeg naar je lichtere verzet geschakeld, zoniet horen ze je transmissie kraken tot in Harrogate...

Na de pittige opener stagneert het stijgingspercentage richting de 9％ en is het zaak om al staand zoveel mogelijk Watt te duwen (tenzij je geen jus meer in de benen hebt, dan kan je niets anders doen dan in het zadel blijven zitten). Naarmate je de hoogtemeters maalt vlakt het steeds meer en meer af, totdat je op een aangename uitloper terechtkomt.

De helling is bekend van het UCI-wereldkampioenschap wegwielrennen in 2019 te Harrogate. De renners reden deze helling wel steeds naar beneden. Het parcours dat zij moesten bereiden was immers al zwaar genoeg....

Wat mij betreft een absolute must als je in de buurt bent!
