Grand Anse circuit - very steep climbs
A cycling route starting in St. George's, Saint George, Grenada.
Overview
About this route
Starts and finishes at Marquis Complex, Grand Anse. Although the hills are not high (up to 600ft) the ride starts at sea level and the gradients run to extreme - on 2 of the climbs well over 30% and it left me shaking and gasping at the top. Almost all concrete or tarmac but with short section of gravel (downhill part). This circuit seeks out the toughest short climbs in the area and is a great work out - as well as some magnificent views of the southern part of Grenada. Good luck!

Point of interest after 0.7 km
Turn right at lights, past supermarket and then you turn left almost opposite video shop. Correct - its up that insanely steep rough concrete road. After first few yards keep right and keep climbing. There's a bit of a break after a while but still better to come....
Point of interest after 0.7 km
Very steep - over 30% for short section!
Point of interest after 2.4 km
If you want to avoid the big hill back up, continue straight on and then bear left at sign to Mi Hacienda and after another 50 yards you rejoin the route.
