Old Forest Road

Old Forest Road

I first encountered Old Forest Road after climbing Mercia Avenue.  The first few hundred metres were fast, then you hit a section that drop straight down, and suddenly I felt like I was riding a Rollercoaster, and flew down that hill at close to 75kmph.  I passed a truck coming the other way, and the hill was so steep that his trucks engine was threatening to stall.  I couldn't resist but to turn around at the base & to climb that sucka!

If you haven't climbed this one add it to your bucket list. There's a short descent in there & that 11% average is very deceptive as to how hard this climb is.
