In reply to phil. Depending on your screen size, the VeloViewer widgets can be at fairly low resolution, so don't display every single gradient. But it does show some red parts on the one furthest down the page for me. And you can always open them on the VeloViewer page to get more details if you want to. Worth doing if a couple of percentage points are going to be the difference between finishing or not.

In reply to Zee K. Too much cheddar and prunes will become your best friend.

Maybe I’m missing something: I see no red sections on the above VeloViewer map and the segment stats tell me that whilst the average gradient is 3.6% the max is 9.6%. But when doing the ride on Zwift I saw a few red sections and hit gradients of 11% and 12%. I just wasn’t expecting that and was forced to abandon when HR went a bit crazy!. Thanks

In reply to Heather Pea. A great way to get back on it then maybe reduce the support percentage as you get fitter. Ride On

I’ve been threatening to do this climb ever since I started cycling in lockdown. I cycled down it once on a fixed gear bike… That wasn’t very fun and it was the ride that prompted me to buy a road bike and fall in love with the sport.

I can actually attempt it without having to cycle from Bristol now. Yay.

I lovvvvvvve the climb portal… Not been active on Zwift or cycling for long so I’m only doing them at 50%, but it feels so good after

IRL it’s the wind (and traffic) that can be a real challenge, particularly on the descent. Much nicer in Zwift

Lucky enough to live in Cheddar and this is a ride I do a lot. Do it at night and reward yourself with a night descent but watch out for the goats!

In reply to Zee K. The sharper the better, for grilled cheese.

In reply to Dan Connelly. I see what you did there.
