Looks like you found my favourite hill Rob. When I'm doing hill reps I smash myself up that climb then all the way to where the fire trail meets the road near the hockey field then take it easy back to the bottom then smash it again. After an hour of climbing I plod home.
Do you have a GPS for the hill up to the Tennis Courts (North)? That's much steeper isn't it?
No GPS. The climb to the Sth Turramurra tennis courts isn't as steep as the climb to Pennant Hills Park. There is one other very steep climb which is all loose gravel which is quite difficult. It is nearly 1km east of where the cycle path enters the park at Sth Turramurra on a fire road that hits Commenara Parkway opposite Ravenhill Rd.
when I went on a group ride with some mates last month.
Made it most of the way to the top before I blew up - wish I'd known I only had 100m to go, I'd have made the effort. LOL!
I have a GPS trace, but it includes a bit of trail that we (cough) walked that had big signs threatening $3,300 fines for riding one's bike through there. It looked like it was recovering from a recent fire, so fair enough I suppose.
