It's only really the first part which is pretty steep, levels out after that and the top is a bit tuff but thats it

It doesn't look as bad as the Crow Road or the Rest and Be Thankful, although if you do a few clicks uphill from the following one...

The middle part of cleish is quite flat but gets nasty again after that

The part to the left of the link is the part i class as the middle

Kinda miffed that i can't make this one (again) but the google map of the hill looks awesome!
hopefully all the snow is cleared by Sat on the back roads!

Most snow around here seems to have disappeared, will be a one though, the views around loch leven make the ride even better

I done the cleish hill today....snow was bucketing down....i now wish i had headed to stirling like i`ve been doing all week...no not me, i went to depest darkest fife

 

[tug benson]

Oh my. Just had a proper look at the course... Hope you don't all mind waiting for me for half an hour at the top!

You get a wee breather half way up it, it`s not pancake flat but it does level off a bit..

tough wee start then a couple of fake summits

Good to get a first hand report on the roads especially Cleish Hill. I was a bit worried about it until yesterday I saw that someone took 2nd place on the segment. Can't be that bad then, I thought!
