Difficulty breakdown: This 1st category climb ramps up progressively. The first half (0-3.5 km) is fairly steady at 5% to 7%, a warm-up for the legs. The climb gets much harder in the second part, with a tough stretch between km 3.5 and 6.5 (8% and 9% gradients) before a sustained finish at 8%.
How to manage your effort:
1. Pace yourself: Start easy over the first, less steep kilometres to save your legs for the hardest section.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The gradient drops from 8% (km 3.5-4.0) to 4% (km 4.0-4.5). Use that breather to recover and get ready for the brutal km 4.5-5.0 at 8%.
3. Save something for the finish: The last kilometre (6.5-7.3) holds a punishing 7% to 8%. Don't go over the top on the 9% ramp (km 5.5-6.0), so you still have enough in the tank for the final push.
