HTS - It's in that order in the book, where it is done by region.
I didn't put the ratings on the map as I thorght this would be a bit cheeky, it was more to help find them quickly as there is no overview map in the actual book.
(the hardest one is in Scotland)
but then I am trying to do it in a sub 30 min lactate fest.
Can't be done 🙂
Course record is 35mins i think
Rode Brechfa for the first time last weekend and think I might have to agree. It didn't necessarily help having ridden a very short version of Skyline and all of W2 at Afan the two days before but the first proper climb and then the big one half way round on the Raven nearly did me in!
I rode Gorlech and Raven back to back and although I was a bit ****ed at the end I don't recall the Raven climbs to be particularly hard. The one halfway round had me in granny ring but if I remember correctly it's not that long. There are harder climbs than that.

Course record is 35mins i think
I thought it was 38 mins by that Mojo lad who lives nearby, whatsisname... However I'd like to know when that was set because imo the course is getting slower and slower with time.
Oh and for a climb to be hard on steepness alone it has to be either stupidly steep for a while or massively long - imo 🙂
oi, oi 😉
1) ludicrous car to be attempting to tow that van with, as I am sure they knew, and
2) why the f was someone videoing his mate fixing a puncture?
cymcarn is not an easy climb. Just got back from there. Struggled, wriggles, hopped and grunted a single speed 29er up it this morning. But would rather ride a ss than have to push one of those full on DH bikes up there.
Whites level is another toughy.
I would far rather push a DH bike up there and do the DH course than mince around on a SS 29er 🙂
