By far my most gruelling ride so far and a real test for my Turbo Levo E-bike. The incline was relentless, I was in the lowest gear using the highest power and still found it extremely hard. Also the battery ran out about 400 meters from the top so I had to push the bike the rest of the way up.
But it was well worth it in the end and the ride down was epic. Would be easier to start Coal Pit road end.
