Melkinthorpe Hill
England, england
At just 1.9km, Melkinthorpe Hill is short but deceptively intense — 63m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.2% disguises ramps of 6.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in England, England.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
