Just quickly guys, I read somewhere here that Kariong was approx; 5% gradient. Anyone able to tell us some of teh other gradients on the coast. Just trying to get my head around gradients. The hill coming back from Terrigal (vets at the top). What about the hill on Henry Parry Drive coming from the RTA towards Wyoming. what would the climb be riding across Mooney Mooney bridge? (not that I would). If anyone has the answers would love some indicators.

I know the gradient of Charles Kay Drive. Bastard%. Short but sore for a fat boy.
Barnhill Drive hurts us fat boys too.
Use these as a crit curcuit and it hurts.

I'll take that onboard. Couldnt possibly give me a gradient number that falls into the BASTARD % range could you?
Some days a speed hump falls in the BASTARD % grade for me.

I have (happily) never ridden up Charles Kay, but I will just for informations sake. Would you like a required wattage measurement too?  |

The ultra-accurate bikely says climb is 76m vertical over 1000m (between the High School and the roundybout), so 7.6%.
Would be interested to know what Murphs Garmin comes up with.
