Scarp Road Section 6 - Del Park Rd to Oakley Dam
This week we ticked off another section of Scarp Road! Section 6 Del Park Rd to Oakley Dam.
We broke this section into two rides because it's a very strenuous section to pedal, featuring long, steep climbs and almost no sections of flat road for reprieve:
Oakley is the smallest dam I've ever seen! So cute.
- Del Park Rd to North Spur Rd 296 metres elevation gain
- North Spur Rd to Oakley Dam 165 metres elevation gain
