Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is a sustained, fairly steady effort. The 5.4% average gradient over 10 km is no joke. The real challenge is the string of 6-7% sections (km 1-2, 3-5, 6 and 9-10), broken up by a notable breather at km 7.0-8.0 (3%), which is crucial for recovery.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself on the steep sections: The first couple of km (1-2) and the finish (9-10) are steep (6-7%). Don't go out too hard, and save something in the tank for the final kilometres.
2. Use the km 7 breather: The 3% section is your chance to ease off a bit, shift into an easier gear and recover before the last two uphill kilometres.
3. Hold a steady rhythm: With the average gradient staying consistent, aim for a steady power output or heart rate rather than surging and fading between segments.
