Sugar Mill to Mardi Gras via St George and return via Red Gate

Variation on the St Pauls route which takes you to Mardi Gras village at around 1,200ft. Gradients out of St George 6 - 10% with short sections around 15%. Once you turn off to Mardi Gras the last 400ft reaches nearly 20% in places. Well worth it for the views and coolness at the top. Coming down to St Pauls road gradient hits 25% - for fun try doing route in reverse. Long descent to Red Gate and then easy ride with couple of hills back to Sugar Mill. Great training ride.
