I've reached the heady heights of 5th on the forum scorums league for this comp, panic has set in and i dont know who to pick in case i get it wrong and drop like a stone
I got up it last month, so it must be easy. I'd be surprised if the steepest bit was any worse than 10%.
Cool. It's kind of nice to know that someone here has done it, So, as far as the game goes, do you think it'll be just a bump on the road? If you had to guess...
Well in terms of actually riding, I'm a complete novice compared to most people on here, but it certainly seemed too short to cause the pros any major problems. Its a good launchpad tho', and its a narrow but very fast descent, with only 3km-ish of flat to reel in a break at the end. Depends on the race situation when they get to it really.
Stunning part of the world tho', really looking forward to seeing the stage tomorrow.
As in wooded with lots of green and lots of scenery?...
No way is P-Y-P 20%!
Pen y Gwryd (by the hotel) to the top of the pass is the last section of this Strava segment, the junction is where it hooks sharp left:

i dont know it at all, but it looks like rogue GPS data to me. i wont just draw a straight line from last normal point to last point, and suddenly its nowhere near 10%. but could be wrong!
