Difficulty analysis: At 3.5 km with 205 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.9%, the Beth'rah Pass is still a tough Category 1 climb, especially with its uneven profile. The key section lies between km 0.5 and km 1.0, where the gradient hits 11%. The noticeable descent from km 2.0 to km 2.5 (-7%) is followed by another steep stretch from km 2.5 to km 3.5, at 7% then 9%, so you need to pace your energy carefully.
Tips for the effort:
1. Dial in your pace from the start The first 500 meters at 5% give you time to find a steady rhythm without going too hard before the 11% section.
2. Handling the 11% section Stay in the saddle if you can, keep a smooth cadence, and don't mash the pedals so you save your legs.
3. Use the descent to recover On the km 2.0 to km 2.5 stretch, spin your legs out and drink or eat something, so you hit the final 1,000 meters with fresh legs.
