Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. After a short initial descent, the gradient ramps up gradually and settles between 6% and 8% for most of the climb. The real crux comes in the last two kilometres, with a brutal 10% section (KM 4.5-5.5) just before a flat finish (2%).
How to manage your effort:
1. Start easy: Use the first half-kilometre, which is slightly downhill, to get your legs turning without going into the red, before the first 4% pitch and then the 7% section arrive.
2. Find a steady rhythm in the middle: Settle into a constant tempo between KM 1.5 and KM 4.5, where the gradient holds steady at 6%-8%. Avoid surging and stomping on the pedals.
3. Save something for the final ramp: Keep some matches for the two-kilometre stretch at 10% (KM 4.5-5.5), which is the key section, before easing off on the last bit at 2%.
