A quick zip up a never too steep hill.

The hill begins in earnest, opening with a 12-13% incline as you pass the Management School. There is a gentle curve in the road and cars will probably be parked on both sides, so be aware of any oncoming vehicles. This is the steepest section and the gradient begins to reduce to single figures once you pass Redcar Road, ending at around 7% at the apex with School Road.

A little blast that won’t set the cycling world alight but a happy, little challenge none the less.
