Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb has a demanding profile. The main challenge is a four-kilometre stretch (KM 3.0 to 7.0) with gradients between 8% and 4%, coming after a fairly gentle start. The 5.3% average gradient is misleading, as it hides steeper sections that really hammer the legs and the cardio.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pacing: Don't go out too hard over the first kilometre at 1%. Use this section to find your rhythm and get your head and legs ready for the run of 7-8% ramps that starts at KM 1.0.

2. Plan for the breathers: KM 6.0 to 8.0 (4% and 3%) gives you a welcome breather. Use this section to recover actively (ease off the effort a bit without losing too much speed) before the steeper final push (KM 8.0-10.0 at 6% and 5%).
