Difficulty breakdown: At 18.4 km, with 828 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.5%, the Tizi n'Uguent Zegsaoun is an HC climb that really tests your endurance. The difficulty lies mainly in the steep sections: 10% at km 2-3, then 9% at km 16-17 and km 18-18.4, as you approach the summit. Between these stretches, the descent at km 4-5 (-5%) gives you a real breather, and km 5-11, at 2-3%, lets you settle back into a steady rhythm.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace your start. Km 0-2, already at 5%, tempts you to go out too hard. Find a rhythm you can hold until km 3.
2. Prepare for the 10% ramp. Shift into an easier gear before km 2-3 and keep a smooth cadence, without mashing the pedals.
3. Save something for the finish. Make the most of the descent at km 4-5 and the 2% section at km 5-7 to recover, so you hit the final 9% (km 16 to 18.4) with some reserves left.
