This route is the queen’s stage for the May Climbing Challenge. It has 28.56 miles and 2478 feet of climbing. With six serious hill climbs including Campbell road, Humphrey road climb, Heggenes and Scatchet Head road this ride is brutal. I was hoping to cap off the climbing challenge with this ride putting me over the top. However, because of gout and the weather, I didn’t get in enough rides to obtain the necessary vertical feet to receive the May climbing badge for my trophy case. Although I am slightly disappointed I feel the climbing challenge was a success helping me find my climbing legs early this season. If you are inclined to try this route or any part of it do so pronto because they will be paving the road surfaces soon.
