Monte Grappa Hill Climb
Ride effort comes in two stages. First 13 kms (to Ponte San Lorenzo) has long stretches with gradients of over 10%. The switchbacks are numbered. At about the 13km mark there is a respite for about 5kms. Then the final grind of 8 kms commences. The mountain is quite bare of trees and watching the summit from 5 kms away is relentless.
