Tough one this climb with hitting 20% and 1 km of 14-16% gated road to keep the sheep in, great view over Porthmadog, Portmeirion etc. Felt the pain but pushed through, turned around at the top as 750HM in 1hr15min was good enough for a training session before going to the France Alpes. 😜😎... read more
