Starting in the beautiful village of Brighstone riders will be immediately challenged with a short but not insignificant climb (used by the local riders for their yearly hill climb race). Riders will have to be attentive here and gaps are expected from the gun! The route then utilises quiet country roads until the black gang chine road. The views from the top are stunning and at sunset are perfect, not that you’ll have time to take them in! Once this climb is finished you’ll descend and try to recover as much as possible before you take on the most feared climb on the whole island. Starting from the esplanade you’ll climb a steep climb all the way to the radio tower. The climb starts hard, relents sightly and finishes hardest. Be warned the top is VERY steep!
