Castle Coch Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Castle

Really fun and beautiful descent down past Castle Coch. Catch it on a spring morning with sun breaking through the trees, truly spectacular. Smooth tarmac, not technical, flows very nicely.

A tough climb that many have faced at the back end of the velothon. Can be added into a loop for hill reps easily, if you are that way inclined...
