Down in Cornwall for the week on holiday I spent a while pouring over an OS map trying to find a big steep hill on which to do a series of punishing low cadence reps on.
I found the perfect incline a few km down the coast from Treyarnon where we were camping.
The climb up from sea level to approx 80m at Mawgan Porth is vicious and has a very steep hairpin towards the top before a gentle gradient for the last 100m which makes for a brilliant thigh burning session.
The added plus was that there could be no wimping out once started as it was a very public hill, circling a pitch and put course, and with a slow stream of beach goers trudging back up the hill to their cars and caravans giving me very strange looks as I slogged my way up and wizzed down the 3.5 min climb.
