Mamhead Man


Finally had the opportunity to do the much talked about Mamhead climb from Starcross.

One of the best climbs in Devon. It may not be the steepest but its a twisty climb and great for descents on the road bike.

The weather wasnt Ideal but it is offically winter now. Luckliy it was warmer and not as wet as it has been this week so I was please to get out on the bike as the last few weekends the weather had been pretty miserable

Now I have conquered I will try to climb many times as a circuit for training for Wimbleball.

The climb stat attack:-
distance 3.47 miles / elevation 229m / gradient 6.6% / steepest 20% / index 1.5
