Gravel Track to Buckholt Road

Highlight • Climb

A technical but definitely doable climb up to Buckholt Road. The surface changes and improves as you near the top, which is just as well... the last bit is quite punchy.

Highlight • Trail

Gnarly drop out of Birdlip, but then great gravel track through the forest
