Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 5.2 km, with an average gradient of 4.4% and 231 m of elevation gain, the Matmour Ahl el Arbi is rated Category 3, a demanding but very doable climb. The real challenge is consistency: seven of the eleven sections sit at 5% or steeper. The steepest parts are km 1.5 to 2.0 and km 3.5 to 4.0, both at 7%. The flat-ish stretches from km 2.5 to 3.0 and km 4.5 to 5.0, at 2%, are the only real breathers.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Don't go out too hard On the first kilometre at 3%, find a steady rhythm and save some energy for later.

2. Recover on the flat sections Use the 2% stretches (km 2.5 to 3.0, then km 4.5 to 5.0) to spin out your legs and get your breath back.

3. Save something for the finish Ride the 7% section from km 3.5 to 4.0 without blowing up, so you have some strength left for the last 200 metres at 6%.
