Cross Rd from Anzac Hwy to Glen Osmond Rd - uphill all the way, gentle at first, but getting steeper. The line of…"
VP replied to Michael Roelink's discussion What's this Zebra crossing thing?"I actually don't mind this initiative as someone who often rides Pirie St and dodges people crossing here. Because there was a keep clear sign on the road and disability ramps on the kerbs as soon as the traffic stops people march out into the…"
VP replied to joe costalonga's discussion Which climb (Globally) would you aspire to ride and why?"Stelvio for me too. Check out this blog, pretty much sums up why.

wujim replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"Yeah I just hung onto the brakes and was hovering around 20km/h going down the hill. It's not a hill that I'm keen on going fast down, ever.
Rims didn't even heat up that much, and I was pretty hamfisted with my braking inputs."
Adam Williss replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"I love that hill and find the descent more challenging than the climb. One mistake going down, and you are pretty much free falling to the cows and kangaroos below..."
wujim replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"I just rode Tilley's Hill Rd at lunch. Amazing views and scenery. Fairly solid 10% with a couple of false flats and even one slight downhill bit. The whole time I was thinking "Why don't more people ride this thing?".
The descent…"

Roger ... replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"yeah, straight up The Parade to the top, lighter traffic and better tarmac.
Overall a much nicer place to die of a heart attack."
Tim B replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"Tried to take a couple of happy snaps for those playing along at home. Hate taking photo's of hills, so hard to get any sort of perspective of gradient. These were taken about 3/4 of the way up Woodland, just before the steeper pitch nearer the…"
Domestique replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"Yes, its nice. As you ride out of the park, take the first or the second street on your right (gradient 10-15%) and then right again past Carrick Hill up to the quarry car park - that will get the heart rate up and adds a few nice pinches and about…"
Adam Williss replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"Was gonna also suggest Brownhill Creek. Very similar length and gradient with much better scenery, next to no traffic, and mostly a beautiful road surface. The last 1km or so of bitumen is, however, similar to the surface of Waterfall…"
wujim replied to VP's discussion What's your favourite climb easily accessible from the CBD?"I haven't ridden up to Morialta falls since I was a kid so can't comment on that... but I know Waterfall Gulley isn't popular because the road surface for the first 1.5-1.8km is appauling. Bumps on bumps on bumps on bumps on bumps on…"
