Riber is short but savage. The legs are jolted awake from the start, confronted with steep pitches that demand immediate attention.
The stone walls and quaint Derbyshire scenery frame the ascent, but there’s little time to admire it. Momentum is everything here, as the road bites and doesn’t let go.
At the top, lungs heaving, there’s the satisfaction of surviving a brutal little climb. This is for riders who like short, sharp, uncompromising tests of power and patience.
