This was my first climb of the day on the 1st of March and I got off to an early start in order to ride the hill before it got too busy. That kind of worked out although the weather had been very cold the night before and whilst the sun was nice and bright wherever there were patches of shade there were also corresponding patches of frost and in some places ice. This made the descent rather sketchy and even on the way up I had to avoid the frost patches as they offered no traction at all. It did knock my confidence a bit and meant I was probably a bit too tentative with this climb when in reality you need to be prepared to go full gas and hurt yourself to get up it well.
It isn't my finest ride by a long shot but I'm glad to be able to say I've done it. I suspect even with warm dry roads I would have suffered badly with the gradient. The hairpin bends aren't the worst section of this road; the steep section that immediately follows them is what really does the damage. It is breath taking, for all of the wrong reasons.
