White Downs kicks me right from the start. My legs burn in that familiar way when the gradient jumps, teasing me into desperation. The climb twists past hedgerows and a lonely farm, with the sun catching the dew on the grass. Every turn offers relief, then another small sting. It’s short, sharp, and memorable—one of those climbs that hits hard but doesn’t outstay its welcome.
