We’ll be keeping a close eye on the competition, so tag your mates and have fun getting up that mountain!
The 1 in 20 is one of Victoria’s climbs, stretching 6.7km from The Basin towards the Dandenong Ranges at an average gradient of 4%. It starts off at a reasonable tilt, and then riders are rewarded with an approximately 1km false-flat segment. It finishes similarly to how it starts, with the steady 3-4% climbing punctuated by some steeper bursts.
As you can see from the numbers, this one is less Mt Baw Baw (where just getting to the top is an achievement) and more geared towards those looking to go hard and fast.
