Leppit Road passes through the beautiful Toomuc Valley which is an amazing road to ride through.  This climb is quite brutal and the climb has a fairly consistent 12% average.  This climb offers many challenges and offers great views to the top of the climb.



The climb starts just after the intersection of Leppit Road & Hein Road


The gradient starts above 10% and it is a fairly consistent 10 - 12% gradient throughout


You will appreciate your Granny gear on this climb and wish you had more gears


After you pass White Lane on the left hand side, there are stunning views to the left of the road


The climb finishes at the corner of Bathe Road


For an extended climb continue onto Upper Beaconsfied.  Overall there is 3.9km's of undulating climbing at 4%
