Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb is a sustained grind. The 6.5% average gradient over 5.5 km is no joke, but the kilometre between 2.0 and 2.5 km, at 8%, is the real crux. The flat section between 4.0 and 4.5 km gives you a strategic breather before a steady finish.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Handling the peak: Ease off your pace a touch before you hit the 8% section (around 2.0-2.5 km) so you don't blow up.
2. Using the recovery: Use the flat kilometre (4.0-4.5 km) to recover actively, spinning an easy gear, and get your head ready for the final 1.5 km at 6-7%.
3. Finding your rhythm: Outside the key sections, hold a steady cadence and consistent power for the most efficient energy spend over the whole climb.
