McCarthy Road Bitumen Wall - Punchy Climbs EP06

Out near Silvan Reservoir, 50km east of Melbourne CBD lies this nasty stretch of steep rough road. This climb is BRUTAL beyond belief, due to both the steepness and the loose and rough road surface.
The next day riding to work on the flat, I nearly bent my cranks I was stomping so hard.
Length: 450m
Average gradient: 22%

I have climbed 26% plus but never that wall

[@melbournecyclingsegments7510]

Nice! I struggled with upper body strength and the road surface was also tough. Lots of fun though!
