​Location: Rockliffe Road, off Lisgar Road in Rockliffe
​https://www.strava.com/segments/27279005

So.....this is right next to the US Ambassadors residence. Sometimes there is an RCMP car parked at the beginning of this segment. I've seen it when passing by on my road bike heading to the parkway, and once heading up this segment. The officer waved back on that occasion, so that's a good sign. 
Speaking of signs, as I mention in one of our route summaries, there are No Exit and No Buses signs posted here, but in fact if you follow this gravel climb to the top you end up on Manor Avenue. 

It's been well travelled by cyclists according to Strava, so I say have at it. 

The climb itself will probably take you less than a minute, but it's steady, has some ruts and can be washed out in the middle section. It's a nice quiet road where you can push it a bit if you are so inclined. 

You could definitely ride this on a road bike with 25mm tires and I am sure the people at the top of the leaderboard did so. 

Anyway there's lot of different paths and green space nearby to build a ride around- I like to throw in the Rockeries on my way to the gravel along the Ottawa River for instance. ​
