Climb report by PJAMM Cycling’s Brad Butterfield:

At the start coordinate of the climb, there is a large public park offering free parking and restroom. A perfect place to park the car if you are driving into the climb. On the day that I rode Mt. Buller, the park was all but empty -- just me and one Aussie Angler. I couldn’t find any water spigots at the park, so make sure you pack what you need for the ride. The last decent town before the climb is “Mansfield,” about 30 minutes away. The climb gradient never deviates much from the average, making for a mellow, albeit long, ascent to the ski village. There are a series of switchbacks towards the top, but the thick trees block any views of the road and mountains surrounding. In late April when I rode, the summit ski village was nearly a ghost town. There were only a few road workers and one or two mountain bikers. This is a particularly fun descent as the road quality is absolutely perfect and the switchbacks are gentle enough to keep up speed. The only purpose of the road is the ski village, so as long as it’s the off season, I think it’s safe to assume you’ll have the road to yourself.
