Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 20.6 km for 1354 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.6%, the Ed Daidabe from Tarouel fully earns its HC rating. The climb is very steady, with most of the route sitting between 6% and 8%, and steeper ramps at 10% between km 6.0 and km 7.0, then again between km 17.0 and km 19.0. The short downhill sections (km 5.0-6.0 and km 12.0-13.0) and the 2% stretch (km 11.0-12.0) give you a bit of respite, but not enough to ease off for long.

Pacing tips:

1. Pace yourself early For the first few kilometres (km 0.0 to 4.0, between 6% and 7%), keep a steady tempo so you have something left for the second half.

2. Survive the 10% ramps Get ready for the km 6.0 to 7.0 section by shifting to a lower gear and keeping a smooth, light cadence, without mashing the pedals.

3. Recover on the flatter bits Use the km 12.0-13.0 descent and the 2% stretch at km 11.0-12.0 to drink, eat and top up your energy before the demanding final push from km 17.0 to 19.0.
