The Most Brutal Hill Climb!!!

Abercyclefest hill climb up Cefn Llan. Super steep climb topping out around 25-30%. Possibly one of the steepest hill climb events in the UK! Lots of suffering going on!

[@VeloVegan]

haha, it does one or the other!

[@palmer3977]

Brutal climbing at the start mate.

[@VeloVegan]

yeah its a killer hill!

[@bloodsord9]

to watch? you should be participating! I understand it's all fun to pass weekend warriors up climbs, but this would show how strong you are. not trying to be mean, but even if you're not in shape and even if you get knocked out in first run, it would still be a better video to watch Then seeing random people I've never seen do it

[@VeloVegan]

hey man! fair comment, I'm just trying to still be little cautious since I over did it after my crash and figured 100ks Z2 rather than 2x200m was better training to get back into it. cheers

That's easy ... for Nairo Quintana ! :)

[@BikeBodyMind]

interesting type of race. Looks like something track riders could be good at

[@VeloVegan]

yeahh the guy that won was so explosive, he just blasted the whole way up

[@calumb2142]

Big Vegan Jeff Cheers VeloVegan I was the guy that won. Weight is such an important factor that track riders should always be beat by skinny "hill climbers" that can still put out good numbers. That 200m race went vertically up about 40m for example, madness !

[@BikeBodyMind]

hmm interesting. So what kind of effort was it, like a minute or two?

[@calumb2142]

Big Vegan Jeff People were doing it from 40-60sec I think. Shortest HC I've heard of. Also the steepest I'd ever seen.

[@VeloVegan]

Yeah its a bit ridiculous haha, was deff fun watching. Nice riding though Calum, you seriously smashed the event!
