The Steepest Slopes - Tuesday the 19th of October, 2010

I decided to run some seldom ran hills on Tuesday. While I frequently run down these roads, it's definitely their slope that stops me from running up them.

Unfortunately it's paved with uneven, irregular stones... not conducive to fast speeds!

Hmmm... Paved stone steps or dirt trail... no competition!

Heading along the trail. My normal dirt-trail run comes out from those steps on the left.

Cross the road, jump the fence and head down this water-catchment access to get to the back of Hang Hau Village

Behind the school, heading towards the hospital and.... the hills!

It doesn't look like much, but the winding, relentless slope is soul-crushing
