Zen, I didn't know that..interesting & sad.

I made it up Mount Street today sititng in my saddle I don't normally have info on the streets I cycle up but moons ago I asked the GIS dude at my former workplace for the info...

Length of Mount St – past bridge to top (cliff st): 280m
Height at bottom: 15m
Height at top: 50m
% Gradient = 35/280*100 = 12.5%
As Degrees slope: roughly: 7.125016348901798

Weeeeeee I could never get up it before without feeling like i was about to fall over etc. I'm so glad I got meself a compact double!
